2 women dead after Kentucky church shooting; suspect killed by police
LOUISVILLE, KY − Two people were killed and three others were injured, including a state trooper, in a series of shootings in Kentucky on July 13, authorities said. The incident occurred at about 11:36 a.m. ET in Lexington, Kentucky, when local police responded to a report of a shooting involving a Kentucky State Police trooper on Terminal Drive. The road runs past Blue Grass Airport in Fayette County. The state trooper had pulled over a vehicle on the road after receiving a license plate reader alert in the area, Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said at a news conference. The suspect shot the trooper, fled the scene, and later carjacked a vehicle. The state trooper was in stable condition and was receiving medical treatment, according to Weathers. No injuries were reported in the carjacking incident. Officers were able to track the vehicle to the Richmond Road Baptist Church, where the suspect opened fire at people on the church property. Four people were shot, including two women who were pronounced dead at the scene and two men who were transported to a local hospital, Weathers said. Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn identified the two victims killed as Beverly Gumm, 72, and Kristina Combs, 32, the Louisville Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported. Of the victims injured, one sustained critical injuries while the other was reported in stable condition, according to the police chief. The suspect, who wasn't immediately identified, was shot and killed by Lexington police. Weathers said three officers fired their service weapons under department policies. "Preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have had a connection to the individuals at the church," Weathers said. "The suspect was shot by responding law enforcement and was pronounced deceased at the scene." Deadly decisions?

Ginn said his office responded to the Richmond Road Baptist Church, which is about 16 miles southeast of the Blue Grass Airport and located on the outskirts of Lexington, at about 12:56 p.m. "This church was a small church," Ginn said at the news conference. "The majority of the individuals that attend the church there are related biologically, some way or another. If not, they've been friends for many, many years. So it's a very tight-knit group of people at the Richmond Baptist Church." He added that the families of the victims were at the church when the shooting occurred, and the coroner's office as able to notify them of the two deaths.

Andy Beshear said in a social media post that a state trooper was among multiple people wounded in a series of shooting incidents. Kentucky State Police said on X that the agency and the Lexington Police Department were "able to secure the suspect," who is dead. State police confirmed that there were multiple victims at the church and that emergency personnel were at the scene. At least one trooper is "receiving medical attention," police said at the time. In a separate statement on X, the Lexington Police Department said the shooting at the church involved an officer. The police department added that the earlier shooting, in which the state trooper was shot, occurred on Terminal Drive. "While that shooting occurred on Terminal Drive, it was unrelated to the Blue Grass Airport," the police department said. Earlier, the airport reported that there was a law enforcement investigation "impacting a portion of Terminal Drive," but later said all flights and operations were operating as usual. During the news conference, Weathers reiterated that the shooting was not related to the Blue Grass Airport and did not occur inside the airport terminal. 'Please pray for everyone affected by these senseless acts of violence' Several state officials offered their condolences and prayers for those impacted by the incident. In his statement on X, Beshear asked for prayers for the victims killed and injured in the incident. "Please pray for everyone affected by these senseless acts of violence, and let's give thanks for the swift response by the Lexington Police Department and Kentucky State Police," the governor wrote. Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said the "attack on law enforcement and people of faith in Lexington shocked the entire Commonwealth." 'Today, violence invaded the Lord's House," Coleman said in a statement. "We go to houses of worship to gather in fellowship, unite in faith, and reach toward our Creator. In light of this tragedy, we turn to God with our prayers for the injured Trooper and the victims' families." Kentucky state Sen. Amanda Mays Bledsoe said her prayers were with the community and the law enforcement agencies that responded to the shootings. "When violence strikes where we gather to worship and serve, it shakes us deeply. But even in grief, I believe in the healing power of faith, prayer, and community," Mays Bledsoe said on X. To all those hurting right now—know that you are surrounded in prayer. As Kentuckians, and as people of faith, we'll walk forward together with love, courage, and a steadfast hope that light will overcome darkness." Contributing: Charles A.

Montgomery County teacher sues after Palestine flag removed from classroom
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) — A teacher is suing the principal of a Montgomery County school and the board of education after she was prohibited from posting the Palestinian flag among a set of multi-country flag stickers on display on her classroom door. In doing so, the suit claims her First Amendment rights were violated. Montgomery Blair High School students organize walkout to support deported classmate Hibah Sayed began teaching at Sligo Middle School in 2020 and served as the staff sponsor of the school's Minority Scholars Program (MSP). In August 2023, Sayed posted several stickers of flags from varying countries on her classroom door, including the Palestine flag. The stickers — no more than 4 inches wide — could sometimes encourage questions or observations from her students, and didn't interfere with her overall teaching ability, the lawsuit explained. Displaying flags from multiple countries was not uncommon around the school, and even the cafeteria included flags from various parts of the world, including Israel, Germany, China and more. Beyond allowing other nations' flags to be flown, the school permitted political advocacy flags, including Pride flags and Black Lives Matter. While the Palestine flag in her classroom didn't pose an issue for months, that changed following the Oct. 7, 2023, deadly surprise attack on Israel led by Hamas militants from Gaza. This occurred during a festival that took lives and hostages and started the ongoing Hamas-Israel war. Israel recovers the remains of 3 more hostages from Gaza Shortly after the attacks, a student from a different classroom at Sligo Middle School complained about the Palestinian flag, and her parent contacted the school requesting it be taken down. The school, at the time, agreed that the display didn't violate any rules and therefore could remain. The flag remained on her door until the day after the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks. While Sayed wasn't at school on Monday, Oct. 7, 2024, she came back that Tuesday to find the flag had been taken down and sought to meet with the principal. Principal Peter Crable didn't say who removed the flag, but reportedly told Sayed she couldn't put the Palestinian flag sticker back on her door. Crable deemed that any flag besides the Palestinian flag could be displayed. The lawsuit noted that she is the only South Asian staff member and one of only two Muslim teachers. Sayed wore a Keffiyeh, which is a traditional Palestinian scarf, to express support for the Palestinian people. Tensions remain high in the Middle East During the same Oct. 8, 2024, meeting, Crable told Sayed she had to take off her Keffiyeh that she wore that day, and was no longer allowed to wear it, according to court documents. When pressed, Crable told her the flag and Keffiyeh could be construed as 'antisemitic' or 'supporting terrorism.' Sayed, at some point, learned the student who filed the initial complaint had repeatedly complained to the administration about the flag sticker. Two days later, on Oct. 10, 2024, Sayed put a Watermelon up — which at the time was known as a symbol of solidarity for Palestinians. Cable emailed her the same day, directing her to remove it. 'Crable specifically stated that the reason she could not display the watermelon wasbecause it is a symbol of Palestine solidarity,' the lawsuit reads. On Oct. 21, she wore a 'GAZA: The Soul of My Soul' shirt, which she had worn previously without any incident. The shirt was a reference to Reem Nabhan, a three-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli forces in November 2023. Sayed was escorted to the principal's office and given the option to change into a school t-shirt or leave for the day. This was followed by a written Memorandum for the Record, which prevented her from posting, sharing or displaying anything related to 'the conflict in the Middle East.' The memo was added to her contract, creating grounds for termination if she did not follow it. 'Principal Crable and Sligo Middle School's directives forbidding Ms. Sayed from posting the Palestinian flag, from wearing the Keffiyeh, and from making any reference to Palestine while allowing other political flags and political messages to be displayed constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination,' the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit is seeking to prevent the school from prohibiting Sayed from displaying messages and declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The lawsuit is also seeking compensatory damages and financial relief. In response to DC News Now's request for a statement, Montgomery County Public Schools said, 'We are unable to comment on possible litigation.' show_multidocs-1Download Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
