Tennessee judge denies release of Covenant School shooter's writings to the public

A Tennessee judge on July 4 denied the release of the Covenant School shooter's writings, stating that doing so might present a security risk to the Nashville private school. The ruling came in response to Brewer, et al. vs. Metropolitan Government of Nashville, et al., in which several parties, including the National Police Association and Tennessee Firearms Association, sued the Metro Nashville Police Department for access to records related to the Nov.

No records held by the MNPD 'shall be disclosed at this time,' Myles ruled after months of litigation between police, victims' families and journalists requesting access to the shooter's writings and other materials. The judge wrote that the court 'would be hard pressed to find that the original and complied writings … and artwork of an individual whose intent and plan was to cause and inflict harm on the innocent in a school setting would not be related to school security and thus exempt from disclosure.

In March, a federal judge ordered the FBI to grant public records requests for Hale's so-called 'manifesto' that police found in her vehicle after the shooting. The FBI had refused such requests, arguing that doing so 'could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
