Seven unnamed Metro Nashville Police officers were put on "administrative assignment" yesterday after purported pages from the Covenant School shooter's notebook were released by a conservative media personality last week, the Tennessean reports. The officers have "full police power" and the assignments are "non-punitive" and meant to protect the ongoing investigation, according to a police spokeperson. While the police chief has verified authenticity of the documents, Metro Legal Director Wally Dietz has not. The Tennessean also notes that it has not independently confirmed the authenticity of the documents.
