US radio host and prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has lost another legal case after falsely calling a mass school shooting a “hoax”.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Twenty children and six adults were shot dead at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut in 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But Mr Jones claimed the event had been made up by supporters of gun controls and the mainstream media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He will now have to pay legal costs to the parents of two six-year-old boys killed in the attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Jones has long claimed on his radio show and right-wing Infowars website that the attack at Sandy Hook was “completely fake” and a “giant hoax”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He has faced a slew of lawsuits from several parents of the victims. In response, he has acknowledged the shooting took place but denied wronging the families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
