Gas can through window, shotgun to face?

State police are investigating a bizarre incident that left a Powell County home destroyed by fire.

The incident began at about 4 a.m. Thursday at a home on Verdin Ridge Road in Clay City. Sharon Fugate said that she was awakened when a burning gas can was hurled through a window of the home. Her boyfriend threw the burning gas can back outside and they were able to put out the fire still burning on the bed covers.

Then, they heard yelling, went out the front door and Fugate says her neighbor was standing nearby, pointing a shotgun. She says he started shooting and continued shooting at her as she and her boyfriend ran.

It was only later, after calling for help from the safety of someone else's home that she found out her house had been destroyed by fire after all.

"I don't know what I did to deserve this," said Fugate. "I don't have nothing to bring my kids to. Nothing to go back to." Fugate said her children weren't with her at the time of the fire, but she says she had hoped to bring them home next month. She also said everything she owns has been destroyed.

The fire chief showed LEX 18 some pictures from inside the house, and he said that based on the evidence he's seen, the fire looks very suspicious. State police are investigating, but so far they haven't said who, if anyone, they might be looking for. Article here.
