Two women were killed in a shooting Sunday at the Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, after a man shot a state trooper near the city’s airport, officials said. Two men were also injured in the church shooting.

The shooting near the Blue Grass Airport unfolded around 11:35 a.m. ET, after the trooper pulled over a vehicle on Terminal Drive after receiving a license plate reader alert.

The suspect fled the scene and carjacked a vehicle before ending up at Richmond Road Baptist Church about 15 miles away, Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said during a news conference Sunday.

Preliminary information suggests the suspect may have had a connection to people at the church, Weathers said without elaborating. The suspect then “fired his weapon at individuals on church property,” he said.
