A group of Tennessee parents whose children attend The Covenant School, where a shooting in March killed three 9-year-olds and three adults, files a motion seeking to keep the shooter’s writings from being released to the public.
A week later, police reversed course, saying that because of the lawsuits they would await the direction of the court.
Since then, the cases have become more complicated. In addition to the Covenant parents, The Covenant School is asking to intervene as well as the church that runs it, Covenant Presbyterian Church. The Associated Press is one of several groups that have requested the writings but not filed a lawsuit to obtain them.. Hale fired 152 rounds during the attack before being killed by police. Hale was under a doctor’s care for an undisclosed “emotional disorder,” police said. However, authorities haven’t disclosed a link between that care and the shooting.
The three children who were killed in the shooting were Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney. The three adults were Katherine Koonce, 60, the head of the school, custodian Mike Hill, 61, and 61-year-old substitute teacher Cynthia Peak.
