NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new hearing scheduled by a chancery judge will discuss a new leak of documents written by The Covenant School shooter.

The order was signed by Judge I'Aesha Myles, who is asking the Tennessee Star and its owners Star Digital Media to determine why publishing the leaked documents doesn't hold them in contempt of court.

The Star is a party in the case, asking for the documents to become a public record. All of the documents related to the Covenant shooter are currently in the possession of the court and Metro legal.

"The police department is very concerned and wants to know how this [leak] happened and who is involved," police spokesperson Don Aaron said.

NewsChannel 5 has not received a copy of the leaked documents published by the Tennessee Star, nor has anyone from NewsChannel 5 seen the journals or documents written by the shooter.

The hearing is scheduled for Monday at 11 a.m. in the Davidson County Chancery Court.
