An intense manhunt is entering its third day in rural Kentucky for the shooter who opened fire on a highway Saturday that wounded at least five people. Authorities say 32-year-old Joseph Couch perched on a ledge below a cliff and began shooting. NBC’s Priya Sridhar reports for TODAY.
The search for the suspect who launched a mass shooting on a Kentucky highway over the weekend, continues Monday as he's been charged with attempted murder and assault in an arrest warrant. The search for Joseph A. Couch, 32, who authorities described as “armed and dangerous,” continued Monday in connection with the shooting on Interstate 75, eight miles north of the small city of London, on Saturday evening. Five people were shot and left seriously injured.
He could face other, less serious charges, in connection with the other drivers impacted in the shooting such as property damage and wanton endangerment. The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office has said that the gunman in the shooting opened fire from three different perches along a ridge that looks down on the interstate. An AR-15, believed to have been used in the shooting, was found near Couch’s vehicle that was found near the scene Saturday night.
