A man with a troubled past caused chaos in a small Kentucky town. Guy House, 47, was supposed to be in court for a domestic violence case. But instead of facing a judge, he shot a state trooper, stole a car, and then opened fire at a church. Two women, Beverly Gumm, 72, and Christina Combs, 34, were killed. Two men were hurt, one badly. Police say House was looking for the mother of his kids, but she wasn't involved in his court case.
The shooting started with a routine traffic stop. A witness said it seemed normal at first. Then, suddenly, gunshots rang out. The trooper was hurt but is now stable. House took off in a stolen car and drove to the church. Police followed him there. The church is small, with a close-knit group of people. It's hard to believe something like this could happen in such a place.
The governor asked people to pray for the victims and thank the police for their quick response. The attorney general called the attack shocking. He said violence has no place in a house of worship. The investigation is still ongoing. Police are trying to figure out exactly what happened and why.
This tragedy raises questions about domestic violence and how it can escalate. It also shows how quickly a routine traffic stop can turn deadly. The community is left to grieve and wonder how to prevent such violence in the future.
