Judge Allows Parents of Victims in Nashville School Shooting to Argue Against Releasing Killer's Writings

A judge ruled that parents of children killed and traumatized in the Nashville school shooting can have a say in the lawsuit seeking to release evidence from the case.
The parents argued that releasing the shooter's writings could prompt copycat attacks and further traumatize the survivors.
The judge acknowledged the parents' unique position in representing their minor children.
The ruling does not decide whether and how the writings will be released but gives the victims' families a chance to argue their case.
Nashville officials proposed releasing a redacted version of the writings.
