NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Ten Metro Police employees who were investigated following the leak of the Covenant School shooter's journals are now being reassigned.
These ten individuals were part of the Threat Section of the Specialized Investigations Division.
Two detectives assigned to this division took photos of the shooter's documents as part of intelligence gathering.
After the documents were leaked to a conservative talk show in November, several officers were put on administrative assignment.
One detective who had photos no longer works at the department, and declined to be interviewed as part of investigations into the leak.
Since then, MNPD found no one currently employed was involved in the leak and the officers investigated were placed back on regular duty.
However, we now know 10 of them will transition out of that specialized division next month, and will begin working new jobs in the department.
There are still so many families in East Tennessee hurting following the floods from Hurricane Helene in September. That made this year's running of the Santa Train extra special for many families in the northeast part of the state. This special Santa Express has been making an annual run in part of Appalachia for over 80 years.
