The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Thursday announced that 10 officers would be reassigned following an investigation into a leak of the Covenant School shooter's writings. The Tennessean reports that those officers — who are not named by MNPD — will be reassigned next month from the specialized investigative unit to unnamed positions within the department. All 10 of the officers were questioned during an internal investigation of the leaks; seven were placed on administrative leave and four returned to duty Nov. 17. MNPD announced in December that it was unable to identify who leaked images of the shooter's writings to a radio host, who later shared them publicly.
