Suspect dead, several hurt in shooting at US church

One of the shootings took place at Richmond Road Baptist Church and emergency responders were at the scene treating multiple victims, state police said.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that a Kentucky State Police Trooper was shot on Sunday morning at Blue Grass Airport in Fayette County.

The suspect then fled to a church, about 27km away, where multiple people were shot and wounded, the Herald-Leader added.

Kentucky State Police and the Lexington Police Department apprehended the suspect at the church, the state police said on X.

"Please pray for everyone affected by these senseless acts of violence," Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.
