The mayor of the east Tennessee city of Knoxville requested the release of video footage of a high school shooting that left one student dead and a police officer wounded, but a local prosecutor said Thursday she denied the request amid the ongoing investigation.
Mayor Indya Kincannon said on Twitter that she had requested that redacted video be made available to the media and the public from Monday's shooting at Austin-East Magnet High School in east Knoxville.
Police said a 17-year-old student had a gun inside a school and was fatally shot in a confrontation with officers in a bathroom, but details of what authorities say happened have changed since the incident.
