LEXINGTON, KY – Lexington Police have released additional details surrounding a series of violent events that unfolded Sunday, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, including the suspect, and injuries to several others—among them, a Kentucky State Trooper.

The suspect has been identified as Guy House, who was involved in two connected shootings—one on Terminal Drive where a state trooper was wounded, and another at Richmond Road Baptist Church, where multiple victims were shot.

According to Lexington Police, the incident began around 11:36 a.m. in Fayette County when Guy House allegedly shot a Kentucky State Trooper on Terminal Drive.

Authorities clarified that while this location is near Blue Grass Airport, the shooting was not connected to airport operations.

The injured trooper was transported to a nearby hospital and is listed in stable condition.

Shortly after the shooting on Terminal Drive, House carjacked a vehicle in the 3700 block of Belleau Wood Drive.

No injuries were reported during the carjacking. Leveraging support from the department’s Real-Time Intelligence Center and Air Support Unit, police were able to track the suspect’s movement in the stolen vehicle to Richmond Road Baptist Church, located in the 5800 block of Old Richmond Road.

At approximately 12:30 p.m., police responded to reports of an active shooting at the church involving multiple victims.

Upon arrival, officers confronted House, resulting in an officer-involved shooting. House was fatally shot by police and pronounced deceased at the scene.

Authorities confirmed that two female victims at the church succumbed to their injuries. They were identified as:

• Beverly Gumm, 72
• Kristy McCombs, 32

In addition to the deceased, two male victims were also shot and are currently receiving treatment for their injuries at a local hospital. Their names and conditions have not yet been released.

During a press conference, Lexington Police emphasized that the shootings on Terminal Drive and at Richmond Road Baptist Church are connected incidents involving a single suspect.

The shooting at the church is being investigated as an officer-involved shooting, and the Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team has joined the investigation to provide oversight and transparency.

“We ask the public to continue keeping the victims, their families, and the injured trooper in their thoughts,” said a Lexington Police spokesperson. “We are grateful for the rapid and coordinated response of our officers and emergency services.

While these acts of violence are tragic, the swift actions of law enforcement prevented further harm.”

Law enforcement agencies will continue to release updated information as the investigation progresses.
