Overview
- Newly released pages include a handwritten “Account Savings Record” referencing FAFSA and Pell Grant checks placed beside notes on planned gun purchases, supporting parents’ 2023 statements about how the firearms were funded.
- Journals and notes show multi-year preparation with weapon comparisons, receipts, hand-drawn maps, and training records, including gun classes taken at Royal Range in Nashville.
- Writings list anti-religious and racially hostile statements and document a target-selection process that rejected a predominantly Black middle school while identifying Covenant as a Christian, predominantly white school.
- The Metro Nashville Police Department’s final report earlier this year assessed the primary motive as seeking notoriety and said the school was chosen partly for perceived publicity.
- The FBI’s partial release totals hundreds of pages following litigation, while authorities continue to withhold the complete manifesto and some materials.
