Covenant School tries to block release of certain records tied to massacre

The private Christian school where Audrey Hale slaughtered six people took legal action this week to stop the release of some records tied to the disturbing shooting, according to a legal filing.

The Covenant School and associated Covenant Presbyterian Church called on the court to intervene and “protect its interest relating” to Hale’s manifesto after lawsuits were filed seeking the release, according to a Monday court filing.

The two lawsuits against the city of Nashville seek the release of the manifesto and other information that was discovered in the aftermath of the shooting that killed three 9-year-old students and three school staffers, including the academy’s headmistress on March 27.

Local authorities have said they would release the trove of documents but delayed the disclosure once the legal challenges were brought forward.

The legal papers obtained by WSMV from The Covenant School argue records being sought could include the layout of the church’s facilities and “confidential information pertaining to Covenant Church employees.”
