2 women killed, suspect dead in Kentucky church shooting, police say
Two women died on Sunday at a Kentucky church in a shooting spree that began when a state trooper was wounded after making a traffic stop, police said. The suspect in both shootings was also killed. The suspect carjacked a vehicle after the traffic stop near Lexington's airport and fled to Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he opened fire, Lexington police Chief Lawrence Weathers said. Killed in the shootings at the church were a 72-year-old woman and a 32-year-old woman, the local coroner said. Two other people were wounded at the church and taken to a local hospital, the police chief said. One victim sustained critical injuries and the other was in stable condition, Weathers said. The suspect, who was shot by police and died at the scene, was not immediately identified pending notification of family, he said. "Preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have had a connection to the individuals at the church," the police chief said at a news conference. The trooper stopped the vehicle after receiving a "licence plate reader alert" and was shot at about 11:30 a.m., Weathers said, adding the trooper was in stable condition. Police tracked the carjacked vehicle to the Baptist church, located about 26 kilometres from where the trooper was shot, the police chief said. The shootings remain under investigation, Weathers said. Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said the church is home to a small, tight-knit congregation. "Please pray for everyone affected by these senseless acts of violence, and let's give thanks for the swift response by the Lexington Police Department and Kentucky State Police," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in a social media post. State Attorney General Russell Coleman said detectives with his office were ready to support local and state agencies. "Today, violence invaded the Lord's House," he said in a statement. "The attack on law enforcement and people of faith in Lexington shocked the entire Commonwealth."

Officers' unexpected pizza delivery goes viral after holiday traffic stop arrest
A viral video shows a pair of police officers in Arizona helping finish a pizza delivery after the driver was arrested during a traffic stop. "When your GrubHub driver gets arrested… Tempe Police Delivers," the caption on the video read. It was posted on social media by the Tempe Police Department. The department shared the moment, which unfolded on July 4, that showed officers delivering the pizza to a visibly surprised customer. "Hello," the shocked customer said when she opened her door to find two police officers with her pizza order. "How are you doing?" one of the officers asked. "Good. How are you?" she responded. "Very good. Brandy?" the officer holding the pizza asked to verify they had the right home for the delivery. "Yes," she confirmed. "So your GrubHub guy got arrested, so we still delivered your pizza," the officer explained. The customer's mouth dropped open when she realized what was happening. "I really appreciate the pizza," she said. "It still should be warm," the second officer added. The department shared the viral video on their X account as well. "When a delivery driver was arrested during a traffic stop, our officers made sure the pizza still got to the customer. The order was Hot-N-Ready, and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady," the department shared in a post on X. "We're committed to serving our community 24/7—whether it's safety or pizza delivery!" Authorities told Fox News Digital that the delivery driver was arrested on charges of reckless driving and racing. Fox News Digital reached out to GrubHub for comment.

Myrtle Beach restaurant accused of making racist remarks. See the response
A meal at a Myrtle Beach restaurant ended on an unsavory note for a Maryland pastor and his wife after the owner responded to the couple's complaints about a dish with racist remarks. Maurice Mckoy shared during a Facebook live stream on July 9 details about the incident that took place at Salt & Honey Grill, located at 2800 North Kings Highway. He was initially excited to dine at the 'TikTok sensation,' he said on the live stream, but when his wife wanted adjustments made to a dish, they were met instead with racist remarks from the owner. The restaurant shared on July 10 a statement on Facebook claiming that this was not how the events took place. Mckoy's live stream has gone viral, being shared across accounts and social platforms and garnering hundreds of thousands of views. Others have begun putting their own posts online, putting their outrage and support behind Mckoy. While some commenters on posts about the incident express their full support for Mckoy and their intentions to boycott the business, others say they are skeptical, and believe there is more to the story. Neither Mckoy nor Salt & Honey Grill responded to requests for comment on Sunday morning. 'My wife sent back the steak because it wasn't cooked to her liking,' Mckoy explained in his live stream. But after the steak was taken back, Mckoy said it was brought back to their table once more, with no changes made, and they were told 'that's the way it's supposed to be.' To this, Mckoy argued that the meal should be prepared the way a customer asks. 'But that wasn't the topper, guys,' Mckoy continued. He said that the owner then came to the table, saying he'd 'Googled' what a medium-well steak should look like, and their steak looked correct. When this response didn't satisfy the customers, Mckoy said the owner then presented them with a more extreme response. 'He told my wife and I that Black people are not welcome in his establishment, and that I can leave and I'm barred from his restaurant,' Mckoy said in the live stream. He went on to say the owner claimed 'that Black people play with his money too much.' According to Mckoy, the restaurant owner would not share his name during the incident. The restaurant is owned by Donald Asllanaj and his family, known for Donald's Pancake House at 2600 N. Kings Highway, The Sun News previously reported. In its response, the restaurant claims that Mckoy and his wife requested that several items be remade, and that the restaurant's cook and server, 'both valued Black team members, did their best to accommodate these requests.' The statement goes on to claim that the restaurant offered to cover the couple's entire bill 'when it became clear we could not meet their expectations,' and then informed the couple the restaurant would no longer be able to serve them. 'At no point were any comments made about race or any group of people,' the statement reads. 'Our only goal was to protect and preserve a healthy working environment for our staff and a peaceful dining experience for our customers.' Responses to the restaurant's post range from loyal customers remembering favorable experiences with the establishment and its owners, to those sharing their intentions not to dine at the restaurant out of support for Mckoy and his wife. No further action has been taken by the couple or the restaurant regarding the matter.
