Alex Jones hit with defamation suits by Sandy Hook parents

The parents of two children who were killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School have filed a defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones, the Infowars host and conspiracy theorist who has claimed the 2012 shooting was a “giant hoax” and “completely fake.”

The lawsuits were filed Monday in Travis County District Court in Austin, Texas, where Jones lives. Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, whose 6-year-old son Noah Pozner was killed, and Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Heslin was killed, filed the pair of lawsuits seeking at least $1 million in damages.
