The family of the person who killed three nine-year-old children and three adults during a mass shooting at a Nashville school is attempting to transfer ownership of the shooter's so-called manifesto to the parents of the victims.

The family’s decision to relinquish legal ownership of writings left by the Nashville school shooter comes amid a fierce legal battle over whether the writings should be made public.

Ownership of the writings of a shooter who killed six people at a Nashville school earlier this year will be transferred to the families of students at the school, an attorney representing the shooter's parents announced Thursday.

Supporters of the parents hope that the transfer of ownership will strengthen the families' argument to stop the release of the writings.
