2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is demanding that Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN), the FBI, and Nashville law enforcement release the Covenant School shooter's manifesto to the public despite parents from the school strongly opposing its release.
Ramaswamy said during a news conference in Nashville with Candace Owens on Thursday that it is a"long-standing tradition" for police to release a shooter's manifesto. He named several high-profile mass shootings, such as those in Buffalo, New York, and Monterey Park in California, in which the manifestos were released within days after the attacks.
"Today, we're sitting here in August with nothing other than stonewalled silence from our government. That is wrong. That does not build public trust," Ramaswamy said.He said he was not speaking as a presidential candidate but instead addressing the issue as a father and as an American. He said while the past cannot be fixed,"we can prevent tragedies in the future.
"The Parents see no good that can come from the release and wish to contend that the writings—which they believe are the dangerous and harmful writings of a mentally-damaged person—should not be released at all," the court filing stated. In June, the shooter's parents transferred ownership of the manifesto to the Covenant School parents of students. Several lawsuits have been filed by politicians, a newspaper, police groups, and gun rights organizations asking the court to release the manifesto.Ramaswamy acknowledged that those opposed to the manifesto's release have legitimate concerns.
The six victims of the Covenant School shooting were students Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all age 9, and substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, Head of School Katherine Koonce, 60, and custodian Mike Hill, 61.
