It’s been just over a month since the mass shooting at Richmond Road Baptist Church that left two dead and two others injured.
Pastor Jerry Gumm and his son-in-law survived the shooting and are back home recovering.
Pastor Gumm was discharged from Cardinal Hill earlier today.
We sat down with him to talk about that day and the message he hopes to spread moving forward.
Hear from him tonight at 7 on LEX 18.

It has been seven days since the family of 10-year-old Jayden Spicer reported him missing in Breathitt County.

Kentucky State Police were focusing their investigation around where Jayden's mother says she last saw him, in bed at home.
They have now expanded their search.

A neighbor, who chose to remain anonymous, recounted the moment Jayden's mother knocked on his door last Wednesday around 9 a.m., looking for help.

Below are notes written by a fellow co-worker.
I failed miserably at recognizing what they wrote down.

Take your best guess! 😂 (and no, it’s not cursive. I asked.)
