Mr. Hoover,
This office is in receipt of your public records request. It is our understanding you are seeking TBI investigative records related to a shooting incident at Campbell County High School on November 8, 2005.
After reviewing your request, this office is unable to provide you with the requested records. The basis for this denial is Tenn. Code Ann. ยง 10-7-504(a)(2)(A), which states in part, "All investigative records of the Tennessee bureau of investigation...shall be treated as confidential and shall not be open to inspection by members of the public."
Accordingly, your request is respectfully denied.
Thank you,
