Sure, there can be conflicting arguments on the news, there are all the time, in fact, the news is pretty much worthless if you are looking for facts nowadays; still, it strikes me as a bit odd that they were all so adamant about the assault rifle being in the building when it was clearly not.
All of the other points in this are reasonable explanations aside from the 5th, however I feel that it is unrelated to this particular conspiracy theory, so for the case of this one I can go along with it being faked as well, in that it wasn't the government setting this up, rather, it's just a father being a douchebag and trying to claim his daughter is dead for free money/donations.
Maybe for advertising and bias towards certain products, but certainly not fake mass murders......
