My rule of thumb is, if it sounds like a tv show plot, it was probably staged. Haven’t looked into this one yet. But the Boston Marathon Bombing hoax was also preceded by announcements: there was a tweet that the bomb squad would be having activities in front of the library (which just so happened to have the address 666 Boyleston Ave) and there was even a truck with a loudspeaker which seemed to say “this is a drill. This is a drill.”
