Tennessee's Governor Bill Lee has revealed a teacher killed in the Nashville school massacre was his wife's best friend - and that she had been due at their home for dinner on the day she died.
Lee announced his wife Maria was best friends with victim Cindy Peak, 61, who died while working as a substitute teacher at Covenant Christian school Monday.
And he revealed he and Maria - who trained as a teacher - were also good friends with head of school Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, who died after running to try and protect her students from transgender shooter Audrey Hale, 28.
The five-minute video from the Republican governor came a day after six people were killed, including three nine-year-olds, at the Covenant School shooting carried out by the transgender female former student on Monday.
'Maria woke up this morning without one of her best friends, Cindy Peak,' Lee said. 'Cindy was supposed to come over to have dinner with Maria last night after she filled in as a substitute teacher yesterday at Covenant.'
Lee added: 'Cindy, Maria and Kathy Koonce were all teachers at the same school and have been family friends for decades.'
Cindy and Katherine died alongside custodian Mike Hill and nine-year-olds Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney.

Shot dead by a sicko tranny with a gun confiscating Nazi for a parent.
It’s not about you, Rat Gov.
Then he better not let Nashville Stonewall this manifesto. Release it now
It’s time to make all fake gender affirming therapy illegal in every state… and not just for minors.
What a strange, vapid, knee jerk response.
1. Bill Lee is a Republican.
2. He lost friends, friends that he knew well. That doesn't make it "about him." He's simply conveying that fact. As governor, he is in a position to make changes in the future to prevent this kind of thing from happening. (Perhaps with getting HB 0041 passed and signed into law.)
3. The friends and family of those left behind are just as much victims of the terrorist as those who are killed.
Illogical, pathetic, knee jerk, social media, echo chamber style responses are demonstrative of a lack of critical thinking ability.
Bill Lee is a Republican.
Then take charge uniparty man and make the manifesto public
Amen I’m sick of how they literally get away with murder
Acting like a rat
Seriously, let them sneak off to Mexico to get it like other mutilating surgeries with no medical purpose.
Agreed
Can we start getting a list of the meds these shooters are on. Inquiring minds, as this is not normal behavior. Is Big Pharma guilty of more crimes? Most likely, but they’re here to help...
FR has a lot of traumatized, angry people. Some of them are not especially bright.
Can he require that the manifesto be made public?
Definitely -- for all the mass shooter since Columbine. This one may have been on testosterone for a planned "sex change". Testosterone makes women very aggressive.
I would suggest that there might be other such connections with the others that were targeted and should be investigated by an unbiased investigator.
But it is personal.
