The manifesto of the Nashville gunman who killed six people during a rampage at a Christian school is now in the hands of the judge

A judge in Nashville has handed over an unredacted copy of a manifesto written by a trans gunman who killed six people in a school shooting in March.

And it could be released to the public soon.

The release of the manifesto has been hotly debated since it was found in the home of 28-year-old Audrey Hale, who killed three children and three Covenant Christian Academy school employees before being shot dead by police.

The manifesto was among other “writings” presented to the Davidson County chancellor on Friday, including a map on which Hale outlined how the incident would take place.

Many conservatives have argued that the manifesto should be made public because it will provide insight into the cause of the shooting, while LGBTQ groups have opposed its release on the grounds that it could lead to “copycat” incidents.

Two versions of the manifesto were handed over, one was unedited and the other had suggested redactions made by city attorneys for review by the judge. FoxNews 17 reported.

The court will soon decide whether to publish the manifesto.

The manifesto’s release has been hotly debated since it was found in the home of Audrey Hale, 28, who murdered three children and three Covenant Christian Academy school employees.

Their delivery came about through multiple lawsuits filed to make the material public — some against the city of Nashville and others against the FBI.

A district judge and city attorneys will hold a status conference Thursday ahead of a public hearing in June in which members of the public can raise concerns about the release of the material, it was reported.

Groups that have filed lawsuits to make the writings public include the National Police Association and America First Legal, a legal group founded by former Trump White House policy adviser Stephen Miller.

The Tennessee Firearms Association and retired Hamilton County Sheriff James Hammond also filed a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

The department tweeted on May 3 that it would not release the materials because an investigation was ongoing.

“Due to pending lawsuits filed this week, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has been advised by counsel to suspend the release of documents related to the shooting at The Covenant School pending court orders or instructions,” wrote it.

Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake previously said investigators had not immediately determined a motive, but they believed Hale had specifically targeted the Christian school and affiliated church.

Metro Nashville Police Department officials claimed the release was paused because their attorneys directed them to delay any release while the lawsuit progressed through the courts.

That pause came just days after the MNPD and the Tennessee governor announced that Hale’s writings would be released for public consumption.

On April 27, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee assured the public in a tweet that Nashville authorities would release Hale’s writings and documents.

Police who raided Hale’s home found magazines referring to other school shootings and “firearms courses,” a suicide note, and two shotguns, the warrant files showed.

Details were revealed of dozens of items recovered from Hale’s home when it was raided by police hours after the massacre on March 27.

Police who searched the home also found five school yearbooks, other armor and 11 “home videos.”

The list of items came after Metro Nashville police revealed that Hale planned the massacre months in advance. Police also said she fired 152 rounds from two assault rifles and a handgun during the shooting.

The warrant says a shotgun was found in a bedroom closet at the house and another next to a desk. Other finds include ‘notepads w/ passwords’, empty ammunition boxes and a ‘bag w/ targets’.

Hale killed Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Evelyn Dieckhaus, all 9, and headmistress Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and chef Mike Hill, 61.
