Two people have died after a series of shootings Sunday in Lexington.
The incident began shortly before noon when the suspect shot a trooper near the Blue Grass Airport, carjacked a vehicle, and fled the scene.
The situation ended in a standoff at Richmond Road Baptist Church where the gunman opened fire killing two women and injuring two others.
State troopers and Lexington Police shot and killed the suspect.
The state trooper and two men who were wounded at the church are being treated at an area hospital.
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman released the following statement after the shootings saying, “This is another reminder of the grave danger we ask law enforcement to face every single day. We go to houses of worship to gather in fellowship, unite in faith, and reach toward our Creator. In light of this tragedy, we turn to God with our prayers for the injured trooper and the victims’ families.”
