The man accused of killing two women in a shooting rampage at a Kentucky church after wounding a state trooper had been expected in court for a domestic violence hearing on Monday, a local official said.

In a chilling account of Sunday’s attack, Star Rutherford, a relative of the two slain women, said the shooter went to the Lexington-area church after morning services looking for one of her sisters but was told she wasn’t there.

“Well I guess someone’s going to have to die then,” he said and shot their mother, 72-year-old Beverly Gumm, in the chest. Rutherford spoke to the Lexington-based broadcaster WKYT-TV. The man later killed Christina Combs, who media reports said was another of Rutherford’s sisters. Two men were also critically wounded, police said Monday.

Officers shot and killed Guy House, 47, in the rear parking lot after the shootings at Richmond Road Baptist Church, a close-knit rural congregation where many members are related or close friends. Authorities offered no motive and the investigation was ongoing.
