Governor of the state Bill Lee has disclosed that he and his wife were friends with the killed teacher Cynthia Peak, one of the six people shot dead, and had welcomed her to dinner that night. This information comes as the investigation into the shooter’s potential motivations for carrying out Monday’s mass killing at a private Christian elementary level in the Green Hills neighborhood of the Tennessee city continues.
Along with Peak, three other nine-year-olds, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, and two other staff members, Katherine Koonce and Mike Hill, were shot and killed on Monday. The former has since been hailed as a hero for bravely running toward the assailant to defend her charges.
According to Nashville Police Chief John Drake, Hale had seven lawfully acquired firearms stashed at her family home and was “under doctor’s care for an emotional problem” before the killings.
The suspect, who had two assault-style weapons and a handgun with him on Monday, was a previous pupil at the school, according to the police, who claimed that he had meticulously laid out the attack and could have harbored “resentment” toward the establishment.
