Search ongoing for Kentucky mass shooting suspect near highway

Authorities in Laurel County, Kentucky, are searching for Joseph A. Couch, a suspect in a mass shooting on Interstate 75 that left five people injured. The shooting took place on Saturday night, with Couch being described as armed and dangerous. Investigators found nine vehicles shot into on the highway, resulting in five victims being injured. The most serious injuries included a person shot in the face, another in the arm, and a third across the chest. All victims are in stable condition. The shooter, described as “sniper-like,” was not in a vehicle at the time of the shooting, and officials believe it was a random act rather than a road rage incident. Couch’s vehicle and an AR-15 believed to be the weapon used in the shooting were found near the scene. Law enforcement conducted an extensive search for Couch overnight and resumed in the morning. Residents are being urged to stay vigilant as authorities continue the manhunt. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear. This is still a developing story, with updates expected to come as the investigation progresses.
