Kentucky State Police officials have identified the trooper who was shot during a string of shootings that left two people dead in Lexington July 13.

A spokesperson at Sayre Christian Village tells LEX18 that Guy House's past connection to this community may have influenced his actions.

After barging into the church and realizing his apparent target wasn’t inside, the killer declared, “Well, someone’s gonna have to die, then” before he opened fire, witnesses said.

Beverly Gumm, 72, and Christina Combs, 32, were both pronounced dead at the scene, while a Kentucky State Police trooper was shot after he pulled House over close to Terminal Drive near Blue Grass Airport, CBS News reports. Lexington Police Department have confirmed the unidentified officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
