July 13 (UPI) — Three people are dead, including the gunman, following Sunday’s shootings at a Kentucky airport and church, police said.

Kentucky State Police said in a statement that the first shooting at Blue Grass Airport, located about 6 miles west of downtown Lexington, began at about 11:36 a.m. The suspect then fled the scene, ending up at the Richmond Baptist Church on the other side of the city, where there are “multiple victims,” according to police.

Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said that the gunman shot a Kentucky State Trooper on a terminal road at the airport after the officer pulled the shooter over, prompted by a license plate alert.

“The trooper was shot and the suspect fled,” Weathers said, adding that the officer was stabilized and being treated at the hospital.

Police chased the suspect for about 16 miles before catching up to him near the Richmond Road Baptist Church, where the gunman also opened fire, striking four people, killing two. The officers then fatally wounded the gunman.

Local media reported that the shooter was identified as Guy House, who had a lengthy criminal history.

A statement from the Lexington Police Department said the suspect carjacked a vehicle after shooting the trooper and before reaching the church.

“Preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have had a connection to individuals at the church,” the statement said.

The deceased parishioners were identified as Beverly Gumm, 72, and Christina Combs, 32, according to Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn. Weathers said the two victims were “possibly” related.

The two other victims who were shot at the church remained hospitalized and in stable condition.

In a social media post, Gov. Andy Beshear acknowledged the shootings and said the surviving victims and the trooper were being treated at a nearby hospital.

Kentucky State Police later said on Facebook that “good samaritans” had provided life-saving measures to the trooper who had been shot.

Blue Grass Airport confirmed the shooting and later said all roadways had been reopened.

Indiana men’s basketball’s non-conference schedule is official. The Hoosiers will take on the likes of Marquette, Kansas State, Louisville and Kentucky in between a slew of buy games:

It’s not exactly the beefiest schedule, but it’s probably appropriate for a group that’ll have to form chemistry on the fly given the roster is entirely new to the program.

It’s hard to say that Indiana’s matchup with Kentucky pops off the screen given it’s been on the schedule for well over a year now, but the first regular season matchup between two of the most historically significant programs to the sport who previously played every single season is worth noting.

With that in mind, we ran a fan poll with the help of our friends at SB Nation to see if fans want to see the Cats on the schedule more consistently moving forward. The results are overwhelming:

It’s fair to say the interest from Indiana’s side is strong, at least among the fanbase. It’s an important rivalry to the program’s history and the seasons since have lost something without Kentucky on the roster.

That’s the verdict on adding Kentucky to the schedule, but what about other historic, name-brand programs? We put together a list of a few others and North Carolina came out as the narrow favorite to be on future Indiana schedules:

This also makes sense. Indiana and North Carolina have played enough in the regular season and tournament for fans to have developed pretty concrete feelings for the Tar Heels. Duke speaks for itself and there’s already been a home-and-home with Kansas recently. UCLA would’ve been on this list, but that’s a conference game now, so.

Indiana currently sits at +6000 to win the 2026 national championship, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
