Rating: False About this rating
On March 27, 2023, claims began to spread on social media that the Nashville Covenant School shooting was a "false flag." Those claims are false.
"False flag" conspiracy theories portray tragedies as orchestrated events aimed at advancing a political agenda. These false claims often spread in the aftermath of mass shootings, including the Sandy Hook and Uvalde school shootings. Typically, they characterize the victims of such crimes as hired "crisis actors" or unwitting pawns in an insidious plot to deceive the public.
The Nashville Covenant School shooting, which left three students and three adults at the school dead, was no different. There have been several posts on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit asserting that the shooting was a false flag.
One variant claims that the shooting clearly must have been a false flag because a woman who had previously survived the Highland Park mass shooting in July 2022 "interrupted" a news conference during an update about the situation.
"Tell me you're pulling out all the stops with your false flag narrative without telling me you're pulling out all the stops," a Twitter user posted.
