A Nashville, Tennessee court has ordered the unredacted copies of a so-called manifesto and writings of Nashville Christian school shooter Audrey Hale to be delivered to a judge beginning Friday.

The court order comes in a lawsuit by groups and individuals that sued the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) for the writings after their requests for those records were denied under public records laws.
