Sheriff killed by sniper’s
bullet at political rally
SOMERSET. Ky. (AP) — A
rural sheriff who had just given a
campaign speech at a political
rally and fish fry was killed by a
sniper, and a suspect then fled on
a motorcycle belonging to one of
the victim’s election opponents.
The motorcyclist was
charged in the slaying Sunday.
Authorities said they were
investigating whether he knew
the owner of the vehicle,
although they said the latter
was not a suspect.
“The senseless murder or
assassination of our sheriff,
who always had a smile on his
face and dedication in his heart,
is devastating to the communi
ty,” said former county attorney
Fred Neikirk.
Sheriff Sam Catron was
killed by a single rifle bullet
Saturday evening as he was
leaving the rally at Shopville, a
small town about 70 miles
south of Lexington among
Pulaski County’s rolling farm
land and wooded hills.
State Police Capt. Paul Hays
said the shot came from “a con
siderable distance.” Police said
a rifle was found but would not
give details about the weapon.
Hays would not comment on
a possible motive.
Police said a sheriff’s
deputy and firefighter caught
Danny S. Shelley, 30, of
Eubank, about five miles from
the rally when he wrecked the
motorcycle that belonged to
Jeff Morris, one of four people
challenging Catron, 48, in the
May 28 Republican primary.
Hays said Morris, who had
been at the rally, had not rep:
ed the motorcycle stolen. M: t owr y Mays
if Morris and Shelley kw
each other. Hays said,
part of the investigation til
we're following upon."
Brian Perkins, a
classmate of Shelley, said
was “a jolly kid" whowentt
work in Georgetown, nei
Lexington, after graduaiiitj
from high school. Shel
high school yearbook ci
him one of the sweetest guys m
Pulaski County.
Morris was a sheriffs
deputy under Catron
to July 2001, said Jin
McWhorter, the chief
sworn in as sheriff f
night. McWhorter won!.' •
