Murder Suicide Mahopac

[everybodygoes 331]

I am gathering from Facebook posts that one of the victims of a murder suicide this morning was a member of the Mahopac Fire Dept. Sorry for your loss, what a senseless act, not to mention cowardly!

This is the official statement from the department.

The Mahopac Volunteer Fire Department is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our Department President Michael Purdy. Mike was a devoted member of the department. He joined department after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Once he became a member he became involved in all aspects of the department. Mike was an Ex-Captain of Engine Company 3 and has served as Department President for the last 4 years. Mike's approach to life and his sense of humor made him a very popular member and he was loved by everyone.

The fire department is working with the family on funeral arrangements. Any requests for information on the case should be referred to the Carmel Police Department at 628-1300

We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers
