A group of parents at a Christian school in Nashville that recently suffered a deadly school shooting want to keep the shooter's writings sealed, citing the threat of copycat attacks. But a judge said Monday they will have to wait until later this week to learn if their effort is on solid legal ground.
Plaintiffs — including journalists, a state senator, a law enforcement nonprofit and a gun-rights organization — have sued the city of Nashville to force the release after police denied their public records requests. Authorities claimed the journals and other writings were protected from release as long as they're part of an open investigation, but indicated they'd be made public at some point.
