A man has been charged in a Friday night shooting in Floyd County in which three men were shot and two died, Kentucky State Police said.

Ronnie Lee Hall, 49, was charged with shooting the three men. Hall has been charged with two counts of murder and is currently lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center.

Troopers were dispatched Friday night to a home in Hueysville for a complaint of shots fired, and when they arrived they found that three people had been shot, Trooper Steven Mounts said.

The men who died were Daniel Ronnie Harvill, 30, and Rodney Keith Whitaker, 33, both of Hueysville, said Floyd County Coroner Greg Nelson. The third person, Ricky Goble, 51, of Hueysville, was taken to a local hospital, Mounts said. His injuries are not life-threatening.
