From Pocono Record: The state's Freedom of Information Commission on Wednesday ordered the release of the 911 tapes from last year's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, ruling in favor of an appeal by The Associated Press for access to records withheld by investigators.
The recordings could shed light on the law enforcement response to one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
The FOI panel accepted the recommendation of its hearing officer, Kathleen Ross, who last month rejected an argument from prosecutors that releasing the tapes could harm the investigation into the Dec. 14 massacre. Prosecutors said they would appeal the commission's ruling in Connecticut's courts.
