Initially, seven officers were placed on administrative assignment “to protect the integrity of the investigation” two days after the images from the shooter’s writings were leaked on social media by a podcaster.
MNPD has not identified any of the officers, and department spokesperson Don Aaron emphasized that the move was “absolutely not-punitive.”
WSMV4 Investigates confirmed the authenticity of leaked images in which the shooter mentioned killing children and wrote a timeline of their plan for the day of the deadly shooting that took six lives.
