Nashville Authorities Investigating Alleged Leak of Covenant Shooter’s Hate-Fueled Manifesto

The alleged writings of the shooter who took the lives of six people, including three children, at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, in March have been leaked, according to a report from podcaster Steven Crowder that prompted local officials to investigate the source of the leak.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell said in a statement on Nov. 6 that he had directed the city’s legal director to initiate an investigation into the leak, but he didn’t address the veracity of the documents. Other agencies were unable to verify the authenticity of the documents when asked to do so by The Epoch Times on Nov. 6.

“I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro’s law director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released,” Mr. O’Connell said in the statement. “That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving.”

He added that the release of the alleged manifesto “naturally invokes additional emotional trauma” and directed people who need support to reach out to professionals at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (615-891-4724), MNPD support counselors (615-862-7773), or the MNPS Family Information Center (615-259-INFO).
