Nashville Chancellor I'Ashea Myles ruled yesterday that Covenant School, Covenant Presbyterian Church and a group of Covenant parents may intervene in lawsuits filed against Metro Nashville seeking records related to the shooting at Covenant School in March. Myles also ruled the parents may continue pseudonymously in the case to protect the identities of their children. The school and church had requested the intervention to prevent release of sensitive security information or inspiring "copy-cat perpetrators," reports the Tennessean. Their attorneys also argued the release of the records could further traumatize the school’s children.
