They may legally seek to verify the reason you gave for having to leave work early: an employer is not obligated to take employees at their word. By saying that you were leaving due to a school shooting, you made the truthfulness of that assertion an issue, so that employer could look into it. Regardless of whether other people take time off for school games, if you are found to have taken time off for a false reason, you may not only be terminated but could be fired "for cause"--for doing something untruthful or improper--and be denied unemployment benefits. Employers do not have to treat employees equally or fairly.
