| *Not everyone believed that Adam Lanza had ever existed, as a conspiracy theorist movement called The Truthers claimed that he was an actor hired by governmental forces and that the shooting of the school never truly took place, saying that the perpetrator, the teachers, students and perpetrator's mother were crisis actors and were not killed during the tragedy.
| | ''See article: [[Sandy Hook conspiracy theories]]'' |
| *Other conspiracy theories claimed that the massacre was, in fact, a government false flag operation aimed at fueling public demand for stricter gun control laws. Some conspiracy theories claim that the massacre was a government black operation aimed at population control, and others claim that Emilie Parker, one of the victims, was actually alive.
| |
| **Right-wing radio host [[Alex Jones]] was a huge proponent of this theory. He is involved in at least 9 lawsuits involving the shooting. In 2018, a group of parents of victims of the shooting filed a lawsuit against Jones for his remarks. Leonard Pozner won a lawsuit against Jones after statements made in the doubts of the murder of his son in the shooting.
| |
| *People also started to confirm that Adam actually committed suicide on December 13, 2012, a day before the shooting on December 14, 2012.
| |
| *Some conspiracy theorists also said that one of the victims of Adam Lanza, Noah Pozner, was not killed in Sandy Hook, but him and his parents were killed in a middle school in Pakistan, and that they had proof because of a banner showing Noah's picture.
| |
| *''[[Smoloko News]]'', an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semetic]] website known for making outlandish claims about Jews, claimed that Lanza was a sleeper agent for the Israeli Mossad, with the "proof" being his surname and his Italian ancestry, as "Lanza" is, apparently, a fairly common surname for Italian Jews.
