LONDON, Ky. — Dozens of law enforcement officers are combing through the rugged terrain of southeastern Kentucky for a third day Monday as they search for the man suspected of shooting of nine vehicles and wounding five people on a busy interstate.
Joseph A. Couch, 32, was named a suspect in Saturday’s shootings on Interstate 75 near London, Kentucky, after authorities said they found his SUV on a service road near the crime scene. They later found an AR-15 nearby they believe was used in the shooting, said Dep. Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.
Commentary:
WHAS News broadcast reports that the AR-15 was purchased the day of the shooting and that the shooter was in the "National Guard' for 4 years. State Police have now taken the lead.
