Two people were killed at a Kentucky church after a gunman who earlier shot and wounded a state trooper fled there, according to local police.

Two women were killed, and three others, including a Kentucky State Trooper, were injured after a suspect shot at the officer and fled to the Richmond Road Baptist Church, Kentucky authorities said on Sunday. Police have confirmed that the suspect is also dead.

The man accused of killing two women at a Kentucky church and wounding a state trooper in separate shootings had been expected in court for a domestic violence hearing the next day.
