Sandy Hook families file suit against conspiracy theorist

The families of two children slain in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre have filed lawsuits against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for claiming the shooting did not happen.

The defamation lawsuits were filed in Texas. That's the home state of Jones' media company, Infowars.

Neil Heslin, the father of Jesse Lewis, and Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, the parents of Noah Pozner, filed separate lawsuits seeking more than $1 million in damages.

Jesse and Noah were among the 20 first-grade students gunned down inside the school in Connecticut on Dec. 14, 2012. Six educators were also killed.

The lawsuits allege that Jones' insistence that the shooting was staged led others to make death threats against the victims' families.  

 

Jones said Tuesday in a YouTube video that the families are being used by the Democratic Party and the news media, and that he believes Sandy Hook ``really happened.''  In the video, Jones invited parents who lost their children to his show to have a ``real discussion'' about guns. He also says he believes the lawsuits will be thrown out.
