Two women killed in Kentucky church shooting after trooper shot; suspect killed, police say

[WISHtv] Two women died Sunday at a church in Lexington, Kentucky, in a shooting rampage that began when a state trooper was wounded after making a traffic stop, police said. The suspect in both shootings was also killed.

The suspect carjacked a vehicle after the traffic stop near Lexington’s airport and fled to Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he opened fire, city Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said. Killed in the shootings at the church were a 72-year-old woman and a 32-year-old woman, the local coroner said.

Two other people were wounded at the church and taken to a local hospital, the police chief said. One victim sustained critical injuries and the other was in stable condition, Weathers said.

The suspect was shot by police and died at the scene, he said. The suspect was not immediately identified pending notification of family, he said.

“Preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have had a connection to the individuals at the church,” the police chief said at a news conference.

The trooper stopped the vehicle after receiving a “license plate reader alert” and was shot about 11:30 a.m., Weathers said. The trooper was in stable condition, he said.

Police tracked the carjacked vehicle to the Baptist church, the police chief said. The church is about 16 miles 26 kilometers) from where the trooper was shot.

The shootings remain under investigation, Weathers said.

Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said the church is home to a small, tight-knit congregation.
WXYZ adds:
Authorities say the shooter had a lengthy criminal history.

Update at 7:50 p.m. EDT from links in comments, below: The murderer is Guy House, 47, convicted felon and wannabe rapper, who went to the church to murder his ex-wife, the mother of his three children. When he discovered she was not there, he shot her sister and mother and their husbands, killing both ladies, before being shot dead by the police. His reason for wanting to kill his ex-wife is not yet reported, but does not appear to be either jihad or anything to do with Antifa.

#2  Very interesting, Procopius2k, thank you for finding that. It sounds like he might be a poseur, looking to shock, or Antifa or Antifa-adjacent rather than a true convert to Islam. But Antifa is also Page 1, so as soon as we have something more solid we’ll know definitively where it should be filed.
