On July 13, 2025, a shooting spree took place in Lexington, Kentucky, United States, that left three people dead, including the perpetrator, along with three others critically wounded, including a state trooper that was shot twice during the initial shooting. The incident began when 47-year-old Guy E. House shot and injured a Kentucky State Police trooper near Blue Grass Airport during a traffic stop, before fleeing and carjacking a woman at a retirement community. With the woman's vehicle, he drove to Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he shot and killed two people and injured two others, including the pastor, before he was fatally shot by police.
