thank you.

>> And in light of yesterday's shooting, we sat down with a Fayette County attorney to learn more about the incident.

The suspect was scheduled for a domestic violence hearing that was supposed to take place this morning.

The county attorney shared about the gunman's criminal history and discussed what needs to change for the future.

>> We've since learned he does have an extensive criminal history.

How does go back to and at least 10 years or so.

So he was involved in the court system.

You know, he did have felony convictions.

He had misdemeanor convictions.

Some of the felonies or a felon in possession of a firearm and then one endangerment.

It does appear that he successfully completed his probation.

When you do have a domestic violence order against you or not to owned firearms.

So that's something Kentucky is has decided in acknowledge that that is absolutely not supposed to happen.

But yet we.

Obviously have people who.

He continued tame them.

And that's that's the frustrating and scary thing.

Not just as we see here, not just for the person he was and the victim of domestic violence, but for an entire community, if you have someone that is set on.

We can fix this truly is a reflection of.

Of our society where we are talking about relationships and how we interact with each other.

>> That number was up by more than 100 from the year prior.

Today we learned one of the women killed was working to become a nurse.

The president of Bluegrass Community and Technical College says Christina Combs was a nursing student at the school's Lawrenceburg campus.

Doctor Greg Feeney also says Combs was a mother of 5, quote, her passion for helping others was evident in every aspect of her life and her strength, perseverance and compassion.

Inspired everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, unquote.

Governor Andy Beshear also commented on the shooting on social media.

He said, quote, violence like this has no place in our Commonwealth or country.

He added, quote, Let stand strong together and support our Lexington neighbors during this difficult time.

And Kentucky Attorney General Russel Coleman is reacting to the news in a statement he said in part, quote, Violence invaded the Lord's House.

We're grateful to the Kentucky State Police and Lexington Police Department who courageously ran toward danger to protect this community.

This is a another reminder of the grave danger.

We ask law enforcement to face every
