Note: Hogg applies his own time stamps to LATimes embedded video segments which he states were filmed while he and one or more female students were sheltering in place allegedly in a school closet during the Parkland Valentines Day massacre.
---------------------------------------
The LATimes posts David Hogg's nearly 4 minute long video which begins with David claiming it is 2:52 p.m. He states he "heard" one gun shot. He DOES NOT state that he saw the shooter.
@ 3:13 p.m. Hogg updates with details...provided by whom?...Hogg actually IDs the shooter as a senior named Nik Cruz who was neutralized [INCLUDING EMBEDDED PHOTO OF CRUZ] - adding the caveat that his information has not been confirmed...again, confirmed by whom? How did he have that photo of Cruz to include in the video recorded while sheltering-in-place during an active shooter situation???
Also, the day after the shooting, in a Feb.15 2018 NYT report, the shooting arrest record is posted with the following details...
On Wednesday Feb.14,2018 at approx. 2:23 PM, multiple 911 calls were received..."
Hogg claims it is 2:52 PM when he is in closet.
The NYT published police report also states:
Approximately one hour later, a subject fitting the description of the shooter was contacted at the 1400 block of Windham Lakes Blvd. South, Coral Springs by CS units and identified as Nikolas Cruz W/M DOB: 9/24/98"
So, according to the NYT published police report, 911 calls began at 2:23PM, Hogg begins his report at 2:52PM. The NYT published police report states approximately one hour after the 911 calls began, @ approx. 3:23PM the Coral Springs police locate and identify Cruz. Yet, somehow at 3:13PM – ten minutes before the Coral Springs Police locate and identify Cruz, Hogg pronounced unconfirmed reports of a neutralized shooter with the identity of Nikolas Cruz.
How is it possible that Hogg knew the police had neutralized Cruz, by name, before the time recorded in the police report?
Also note the two additional clips of Hogg's video tape he has one or two females making gun control statements while sheltering in place during the massacre...that is some remarkably instantaneous community organizing!
One of the female students in Hogg's video is identified as Isabelle Robinson as seen in the LATimes published video clip. A rough transcript of her statement follows:
">"Um, we're on lockdown because there was an active shooting. We thought it was a fire drill and went outside and then people starting running because there were shots. I didn't hear them personally and then I started running. I really don't think there is anything you could say but there shouldn't have to be because if you looked around this closet and saw everyone just hiding together, you would know that this shouldn't be happening anymore and that it doesn't deserve to happen to anyone and that no amount of money should make it more easily accessible to get guns. Um, and that's that."continued from above:
Another voice on a dark screen at 0:22 continues with "spontaneous" anti-gun editorializing - captioned (Student)
"I personally have rallied for, you know, gun rights and less control -- not necessarily less control, but this experience has definitely changed my viewpoints. I wanted to be a junior NRA member, I wanted to learn how to hunt, I was always fascinated by guns as a young girl, but this experience was so traumatizing to the point where now I can't even fathom the idea of a gun in my house. I did have plans for my 18th birthday to go to Nexus Gun Range and learn how to shoot, but at this point, I don't even want to be behind a gun. I don't want to be the person behind a bullet, because I don't want to be the person to point a bullet at someone, and to have the bullet pointed at me, my school, my classmates, my teachers, my mentors -- it's just, it's definitely eye-opening to the fact that we need more gun control in our country, because for this to happen, and for people to be so neutralized to it...I even texted my sisters, "Shooting at my school, I am safe." They both responded with, "OMG, LOL, you're funny." Now that's a problem in society, and it's a bigger problem in America, and it needs to be fixed, and I believe the most definite way to fix it is by changing our laws when it comes to gun ownership."
Yet another posting of Hogg’s video to YouTube, culled from WMSD-TV via Storyful ....starts with Hogg asking Isabelle
“So, what’s your message?”before Isabelle begins at the 0:51 second mark with
“I really don’t think...”*see partial transcript below of the LATimes video for remaining text.
Notice this culled video has an intro question prompting for Isabelle’s message while the LATimes video of the same clip of Isabelle doesn’t include Hogg’s prompt. The LATimes clip instead has Hogg editorializing with his update about shooter being neutralized, a shooter who he hasn’t seen but can identify WITH Cruz’s photo despite Hogg’s caveat “unconfirmed”.

Note: David Hogg’s father is retired FBI. His mother, Rebecca Boldrick is outspoken about her anti-Trump views ...comments in this Heavy.com link state that Boldrick’s pinterest page states both she and her husband were FBI and now are teachers.
Online suggestions that Boldrick is a CNN VIP are likely not true. These rumors are based on photos of Hogg seated behind the CNN news desk on a “VIP tour”. Turns out the VIP tour is available to anyone http://tours.cnn.com/# as seen in this screen cap

David Hogg
Student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
(whisper) "So, right now we're in school with an active shooter. It's not a drill and it's currently, it's 2:52. I heard gun, heard one gunshot. We thought it was a drill initially, and it's not. (unclear) hopefully....??Clearly at this point in the video, it is edited with a break - improved, less grainy visual.
(continued)
"At around 2:30 we heard a gunshot in my AP ? science class and we initially thought it was a drill and we heard multiple, we heard more gun shots. And that was when we realized this was not a drill.fades and then continues
This was life or death. So, it's now 3:13 and we've heard supposedly it's a senior, not confirmed at all. The senior is believed to be Nik Cruz (and shows photo) - this has not been confirmed. This is the latest information that we have, though. We still believe that the person has been neutralized but we're still currently on lock-down.Camera focuses on another student, Isabelle Robinson
Student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
"Um, we're on lock-down because there was an active shooting. We thought it was a fire drill and went outside and then people starting running because there were shots. I didn't hear them personally and then I started running. I really don't think there is anything you could say but there shouldn't have to be because if you looked around this closet and saw everyone just hiding together, you would know that this shouldn't be happening anymore and that it doesn't deserve to happen to anyone and that no amount of money should make it more easily accessible to get guns. Um, and that's that.Break in video - end of partial transcript
