There's still no known motive in Friday's shooting that left three dead, including a Perry County magistrate.

Police say they were called to Ben's Quick Stop in Chavies just before 11:30 Friday morning after reports of a shooting. They say once they got to the scene, they found that Magistrate Jimmy Darrell Neace and Lewallen Caudill, an employee with the Perry County Road Department, had both been shot by Jerry Fugate, another worker with the road department. Fugate then turned the gun on himself.

Visitation for Jimmy Neace will be from 5 until 9pm Sunday at Maggard's Mountain View Chapel in Hazard. His funeral will be Monday at on 1pm at the chapel.

Visitation for Lewallen Caudill will be Monday night from 6 to 9 also at Maggard's Mountain View Chapel in Hazard. His funeral will be Tuesday morning at 11am at the chapel.

Visitation for Jerry Fugate will be at the Mount Carmel Church in Rowdy starting at 3pm Sunday. His funeral will be at the church at 11am Monday morning.

My thoughts and prayers are still with all of these families. No one really knows what happened that day, and we never will. For someone to be bold enough to say who the target was is ridiculous. When someone has eveything taken away from them, the only way of life that they had known, and a lot of empty time to think, it is a bad mixture. And to work and know someone for so long, go out and electioneer for a man, for a county, and them have those same people turn their back on you and fight against you so hard, over money, over a few minutes to look over some papers and sign them. Obviously there will never be a bond greater than that of the dollar and the wallet.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families that lost thier loved ones. I believe that this could have been avoided. Jerry Fugate worked for several years with the road department and should have been granted some compensation by workmans comp. or unemployment. He was not a man without dependents that he had to take care of. If he would have been granted some benefits. I don't believe that he would have took such drastic acts. Denny Ray Noble was his target. And two other innocent people had to be taken away from thier families. God bless those families that lost thier loved ones..........
