Guy House Identified as Gunman in Deadly Kentucky Church Shooting

Authorities in Kentucky have identified Guy House, 47, as the gunman responsible for a deadly shooting at Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington. The attack left a mother and her daughter dead, and three others injured — including a state trooper.

Police say House, who was killed during a shootout with law enforcement shortly after the church rampage, had a long criminal history. Before the church shooting, he had reportedly shot and injured a state trooper near Blue Grass Airport.

Investigators revealed that House was scheduled to appear in court the following day for a domestic violence hearing. The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation, but officials believe it may have been linked to a personal dispute.

The tragedy has shaken the local community, prompting renewed conversations about gun violence and public safety :
