Two people are dead, and a Kentucky State Trooper injured after a traffic stop shooting was followed by a church shooting in Lexington, Kentucky, on Sunday.
CNN reported that the Trooper was shot “near the Blue Grass Airport” on Terminal Drive around 11: 30 a.m. Thereafter, the alleged gunman fled the scene and arrived at Richmond Road Baptist Church, where another shooting occurred.
Two women — one aged 32 and one aged 72 — were killed at the church. Two men were also shot and transported to a hospital.
WKYT noted that the Trooper is also being treated in a hospital.
The shooting suspect was shot dead by law enforcement at the church.
The New York Times quoted Gov. Andy Beshear (D) commenting on the incidents, saying he was “aware of a series of incidents in Lexington around one suspect, including a trooper-involved shooting and an additional shooting at Richmond Road Baptist Church with multiple injuries.”
