Fabrication. Someone trying to inflate their position in life. A fabulist. A liar.

Witness who called for gun control in aftermath of Texas mall shooting lied about his actions
A witness to the Allen, Texas, mall shooting who has called for gun control in the aftermath of the tragedy has had his account disputed by Texas police, who say he has spread "misinformation" in multiple media interviews.
Steven Spainhouer, who has identified himself as a former Army officer, gave multiple media outlets a dramatic account of the Texas mall shooting earlier this month, saying he showed up at the mall before police and first responders to begin administering aid to shooting victims.
According to CBS News, Spainhouer said he arrived at the scene after receiving a call from his son about hearing gunfire on the property. When he arrived, the former officer said he gave first aid and performed CPR on shooting victims, including one girl who "had no face" and a young boy covered "head to toe" in blood who was hiding under the body of his dead mother.
He will probably live quite well - doing speaking gigs for gun grabbing groups.
To those kind of people, the truth can be quite flexible as long as the narrative is preserved.
