THE Kentucky church shooter made multiple disturbing posts about his children’s mother before Sunday’s attack that left multiple people dead.
Guy House, aged 47, entered a church searching for the mother of his children. Unable to locate her, he tragically shot and killed the woman’s 72-year-old mother and 32-year-old sister.
The victims of the bloody rampage were identified as Beverly Gumm, 72, and Christina Combs, 32.
The incident also left three others injured. Among the wounded were church pastor Jerry Gumm, who was Beverly’s husband and Christina’s father, Christina’s husband Randy Combs, and an unidentified Kentucky State Trooper.
House was scheduled to appear at a domestic violence hearing on Monday. However, he was killed in a shootout with the police outside the Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington.
Rachel Barnes, another sister of House’s ex-girlfriend, told the Lexington Herald Leader that the hearing wasn’t in connection with the mother of House’s children.
House’s Facebook showed a long timeline of the pair’s ups and downs during their relationship.
Less than a month before the shooting, he made a degrading post about the mother of his child, calling her a slur.
House also claimed that she wouldn’t let him see his “baby no more.”
“She’d be kept in their back room still if I didn’t give my life to better theirs, and now I can’t even SEE that baby,” he claimed in his post.
“Pray I stay focused and don’t lose the will to win is all I can tell ya.“
Multiple people commented supporting House, with one user writing that he “hopes people see sense and make that little angel the priority.”
“[S]he thinks I hung the Moon why would somebody that says they love her want to take that love away from her,” the shooter commented back at the time.
“[T]hat’s crazy to me it’s abuse for real because she can’t speak for herself.”
House made a post over a year ago that praised the mother, claiming that she was the reason behind their one daughter’s “progress and milestones and daily care.”
He then said he’d “Rambo an entire village” for the mom, and wrote that the woman and his daughter were “the people that own me and my life no matter what.”
“They could stop it all at the push of a button,” he said.
TROUBLED PAST
House had a long criminal history, including charges for drugs and weapons, according to the Lexington Herald Leader.
He had been released from probation in January, and had conviction on at least seven crimes.

House was an aspiring rapper who performed under the name H****y Kong.
A “favorite quote” of his was listed on his Facebook profile and read, “I done spit bars on federal prison rec yards that departed before me B, it’s hard to compete…”
Star Rutherford, one of the the victim’s daughters and the woman’s sister, told the paper, “Guy House wanted to hurt my sister or someone she loved.”
The woman’s family members told CBS News that House had mental health issues and an ongoing drug abuse problem.
“I’m heartbroken to share the shooting in Lexington at Richmond Road Baptist Church has taken the lives of two people.
