A tragic shooting shook Lexington, Kentucky, on July 13, 2025, when 47-year-old Guy House stormed into Richmond Road Baptist Church during Sunday meal prep and opened fire. Two women — 72-year-old Beverly Gumm and 32-year-old Christina Combs — were killed, and several others, including the church pastor and Christina’s husband, were injured.

Witnesses say Guy entered through a back door and asked for one of the mothers of his children. When told she wasn’t there, he chillingly said, “Well, someone is gonna have to die, then,” before opening fire. The violence continued outside, where he fatally shot Christina.

Earlier that day, Guy had already shot a state trooper at Blue Grass Airport after triggering a license plate alert. He stole a vehicle and drove directly to the church, where police later confronted and fatally shot him. The trooper survived and remains in stable condition.

Guy’s actions shocked friends, who described him as a loving father and struggled to understand his violent outburst. Meanwhile, the community mourns the victims — both remembered as women of faith who died serving others. Fundraisers are underway, and investigations continue.
