The Fayette County Coroner's Office has confirmed the identity of the shooter as 47-year-old Guy House, who killed two women at Richmond Road Baptist Church after he shot and injured a KSP trooper on Terminal Drive at the Blue Grass Airport on Sunday.
Two men were also shot at the church and were taken to the hospital for treatment. At a press conference on Monday afternoon, police reported that the men were in "critical condition." The trooper who was shot on Terminal Drive is reportedly stable.
Further, KSP reported that a preliminary investigation found that when a KSP trooper conducted a traffic stop on Terminal Drive, House shot the trooper and fled the scene. The other occupants in the vehicle "were not involved in the assault of the trooper" and they are "cooperating with the investigation," KSP noted.
House went on to "forcibly" steal a vehicle which was later tracked by police to the Richmond Road Baptist Church, according to KSP. When police arrived on the scene, they encountered four victims with apparent gunshot wounds.
Officials reported that House was then shot by at least three officers and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
Lexington police added that the KSP Critical Incident Response Team is taking over the ongoing investigation.
