A Kentucky mother and daughter were killed and their husbands injured on Sunday when a man who knew the victims the opened fire at their church.

Guy House, aged 47, previously shot and injured a Kentucky State trooper close to Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport before heading to Richmond Road Baptist Church, according to CBS News. Once there, relatives of the victims stated that he was searching for the mother of his three children. Upon hearing she wasn’t present, he reportedly declared, “I guess someone is going to have to die.”

House proceeded to fatally shoot Beverly Gumm, a 72-year-old mother of the woman he sought, along with another daughter, 34-year-old Christina Combs. He also injured Gumm’s spouse, James Gumm, who is the church’s pastor, as well as Combs’ husband.

Lexington Police shot and killed House.

Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers explained that the event was triggered when the state trooper stopped House near the airport. Following the shooting, House escaped and subsequently hijacked another vehicle at the Sayre Christian Village parking lot, as WKYT reported. Fortunately, the woman was able to get to safety, and nobody else was harmed in this carjacking. House then continued his path to the church.

Police have not provided a motive for the shooting.

The trooper and the two other wounded victims were taken to a local hospital, where the trooper and one of the victims were said to be in stable condition, according to CBS. The other victim was in critical condition.
