The gunman who killed two people and wounded three during a shooting rampage at a rural Kentucky church chillingly said, “Someone’s gonna have to die,” when he discovered the mother of his three children wasn’t there.
Beverly Gumm and her daughter, Star Rutherford, were in the basement of Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington on Sunday afternoon, preparing lunch for their congregation, when the shooter barged in demanding to speak with one of Rutherford’s sisters, the mother of his three kids, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Rutherford and her mother told the gunman, identified as Guy House, that she wasn’t there.

The deranged shooter then told them, “Well, someone’s gonna have to die then,” and opened fire, Rutherford told the outlet.
