To state that there is more than meets the eye or that something is fishy about the story (which is probably the stance the father has taken) is not the same as calling it a "hoax", at least to me. Even if it was called a "hoax", we may be able to use that term depending on criteria. When one examines these school shootings - using the individuals there as reference, or their signed statements, one finds that the story is convoluted and has no symmetry, it doesn't line up. Just like Columbine - if you go back and read those police reports, they report MORE shooters with -differing- physical appearances and cite locations and times that are impossible by the "official" reports.

What does it all mean? The only thing I know for sure is that most of these events have not just one conflicting element, but MANY conflicting elements. And often times the sources for that dissonance is those that were present! Much like Parkland, speaking of men in combat gear.
