Dead are Maj. John J. Connelly, 53, of 6621 Lunar Drive, a battalion chief for the Louisville Fire Department, and James B. Riley, 55, of 4419 McGill Drive, who retired last September as a captain with the department.

Mullins said it was reported that a man at the warehouse had a gun.

When the policemen arrived, they found Connelly bending over Riley, who was sitting on the steps of a warehouse guard shack. Also was woman later identified as Connelly's wife, Mary, 48. Mullins said the officers saw that Connelly had a revolver in his hand, and ordered him to drop Connelly began walking toward the police car, Mullins said, and the officers continued to yell at him to drop the revolver. When Connelly got within about 15 feet of the car, Mullins said, he pointed the gun at the officers. Mullins said Wilson fired twice and Warman once, with all three bullets striking Connelly in the chest.

The officers later were told that Connelly had called his wife, asking her to bring him the keys to the trunk of the car he was driving.

today. Area's needs for foster care are increasing Continued from Page 1 or won't provide proper care for them, Ms. Fontenot said. But she thinks foster care should be temporary, and her workers try to return the children to their "real" homes as soon as conditions there improve. Ms.

Fontenot said that in her region (Jefferson County and the six surrounding counties) children can eventually be placed in a foster or group home, but the placement is not always the "most appropriate." She said there aren't enough foster homes or staff members to ease the process of matching children and homes. That's one reason some of the adolescent girls who live in a resoure home on the grounds of Kentucky Children's Home sometimes have to stay longer than the 30-day limit. "Kentucky Children's Home is supposed to be an emergency resource home," Mrs. Nett said. "In none of the cases in which girls are there over the 30 days could we send the girls back to their natural homes." During the reorganization process, Ms.

Fontenot said, she had hoped to have a staff of 87 so that worker would have a caseload of no than 50 famieachre lies. However, she got only 27 workers, and their caseloads now average about 75 families and sometimes go as high as 120. As a result of the reorganization, all state social workers became "generalists" and began handling a variety of cases instead of specializing in a single type of service. Before reorganization, some social 'workers had handled as many as 200 families while others had caseloads as low as 20. Now the administrative operations are much simpler.

But even so, the major problem too many children that many potential or current foster parents don't want still exists. "We're getting a really different type of child than we got 10 or even five years ago," said Mrs. Nett. "The children are likely to be older or else have some sort of special problems." One of the reasons the bureau is dealing more with older children now is a growing reluctance to remove children from their natural homes except as a last resort. "Maybe because we're keeping the kids with their families longer, the kids have been through a lot more grief their problems have become greater than if we had removed them earlier," Mrs.

Nett said. Usually considered hard to place are, for example, delinquents, runaways, adolescents (11- to 18-year-olds), and those who are emotionally disturbed, physically handicapped or mentally retarded. 6304 Chenoweth Run Road. Chesley Wheeler told police that between 10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m.
