LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The man charged with fatally shooting two people that led to a standoff with police appeared in court this morning.

24-year old Ricardo Taylor faces several charges including two counts of murder and three counts of kidnapping.

Police say he forced three people at gunpoint into a second floor apartment in Smoketown Friday morning and shot them.

25-year-old Tela Harvey and a man in his late teens died.

The SWAT team arrived and used tear gas to get in the apartment -- forcing Taylor and a woman to come out.

The woman was shot, but is expected to recover.

The judge kept Taylor's bond at $1 million dollars.
