Uncovering the Controversy: The Nashville School Shooter's Manifesto

The National Police Association and the Tennessee Firearms Association have sued the Metro Nashville Police Department for denying open records requests for the writings of Audrey Hale, the shooter who killed six people in March at a Christian school in Nashville. The writings show the massacre was "calculated and planned," and Hale scouted a possible second attack location, had "considered the actions of other mass murderers" and "acted totally alone." The Covenant Presbyterian Church, which runs the school, wants to intervene in both cases to safeguard its interests related to Hale's writings, which could include journals and a suicide note.
