Tennessee’s Court of Appeals is deciding whether the parents of school shooting victims can seek to veto the release of police records
A lawsuit over whether the families of school shooting victims have a right to control what the public learns about a massacre was argued inside a packed Tennessee courtroom on Monday, the latest turn in an intense public records battle. The person who killed three 9-year-old children and three adults at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville this spring left behind at least 20 journals, a suicide note and a memoir, according to court filings.
Speaking for the families, attorney Eric Osborne said the lower court was right to allow it because, “No one has greater interest in this case than the Covenant School children and the parents acting on their behalf.” The families submitted declarations to the court laying out in detail what their children have gone through since the March 27 shooting, Osborne said. They also filed a report from an expert on childhood trauma from mass shootings.
