Gov. Bill Lee: Documents Left Behind by Christian School Shooter to Be Released ‘Very Soon’

Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN) tweeted Thursday night that documents left behind by the 28-year-old transgender shooter who killed six at a Christian school would be released “very soon.”

Lee tweeted:

The Covenant shooting was a tragedy beyond comprehension, & Tennesseans need clarity.

We’ve been in touch with the Nashville Police Department, & today, Chief Drake assured me that documents & information regarding the shooter will be released to the public very soon.

He hedged his first tweet with a second, reminding people that “the state is not involved with the investigations.”

Breitbart News observed that the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department (NMPD) rejected a Tennessee State public records request for the transgender shooter’s manifesto on Tuesday. And prior to that, a New York Post report indicated the FBI was stalling the release of the manifesto.

The CEO of the media network that owns the Tennessee Star filed a public records request Thursday for the release of a toxicology report on the 28-year-old transgender shooter who killed six individuals at the Nashville Christian school.
