The support for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) to deny public records requests which sought the writings of The Covenant School shooter received new backing Monday, June 12, from Nashville’s District Attorney and a collective group of four private schools in a three-mile radius of Covenant.

The District Attorney, along with the group of nearby private schools, argue in support of MNPD’s decision to withhold public records in the newly filed amicus briefs.
