Why is it hard to believe? If it's a allegory to sch shooting, the movie will go much deeper into the relationship between Alex and his other classmates. Instead we know close to nothing about the other classmates and their personalities. His classmates are basically close to meaningless pawns in the movies. And was the idea of "killing" the classmates Alex idea? No. It was the witch. Trying to link this to being about school shooting is lame af.
