Multiple people, including a Kentucky police trooper, have been injured in a series of shootings around Lexington, the state’s governor and Kentucky police say.
The state police said the sole suspect in the incident is dead and the police trooper is receiving treatment.
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.
