I believe the account of the Holocaust survivor was out within 12 hours of the rampage. I read that some parents of children who were killed were not notified until 10 or 11 o'clock that night.

If one is going to be super critical one might question how the history of the Jewish professor and the story of his courage as well as the fate of his class was so available given the dearth of information during the immediate aftermath of the massacre.

We as a society are all too often willing to accept what we want to believe and label as lies those facts that don't conform to our wished for world view.

I would say that would probably be due to the fact that these students jumped out windows while the shooter was still shooting, and escaped. They probably ran to the police or a safe haven, telling what was going on and how they got out. I don't find that remarkable that the story was out 12 hours later.
