Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee — who has opposed gun control measures during his time as governor — revealed that the deadly shooting at The Covenant School hit close to home. First lady Maria Lee was good friends with one of the victims.
"Maria woke up this morning without one of her best friends, Cindy Peak," Lee said in a press release. "Cindy was supposed to come over to have dinner with Maria last night after she filled in as a substitute teacher yesterday at Covenant."
"Cindy and Maria and [Covenant head of school] Katherine Koonce were all teachers at the same school and have been family friends for decades."Lee said there will come a time to debate policy and to ask "how a person could do this." "But this is not a time for hate or rage," he added. "That will not resolve or heal. Everyone is hurting, and remembering that as we grieve and walk together will be the way we honor those who were lost."
