Couch — who earlier this year faced a later-dropped misdemeanor charge for terroristic threatening, according to court records — most recently lived in Woodbine, a small community about 20 miles south of the shooting scene. Acciardo said law enforcement found his abandoned vehicle Saturday and then an AR-15 rifle on Sunday in a wooded area next to a highway “that he could have shot down upon the interstate from.
“When our first two units got to the scene there, they said it was a madhouse: people on the sides of the road, emergency flashers going, bullet holes, windows shot out, nine vehicles shot,” Acciardo said during a news conference. Rodney Goodlett, pastor of Faith Assembly of God in London, was helping direct traffic as parishioners gathered for a service Sunday morning. He said he expected the search to hold down attendance. Several local churches canceled their services.
Cody Shepherd, sipping a bloody mary outdoors while waiting to watch a football game at the Pour Boyz Sports Lounge in London on Sunday, said rumors abounded as the search progressed.
