A shooting near a Kentucky highway left five people seriously injured. The man policed named as a person of interest is now officially a suspect.
A manhunt is underway for an 'armed and dangerous' suspect in connection with Saturday night's mass shooting near a highway in Kentucky that left five people seriously injured. Deputies are searching for Joseph A. Couch, 32, in a remote wooded area near the scene of the shooting on Interstate 75. Couch was initially referred to as a person of interest but was upgraded to suspect Sunday afternoon following the discovery of his vehicle near the scene.
Acciardo said the shooter's actions were 'sniper-like,' and warned residents to 'stay vigilant.' It's not clear what the shooter's motivation was at this time, but Acciardo called it 'a random act.' 'This is not a road rage incident,' Acciardo said. 'I mean, you got five different victims that have been shot, one’s from Kentucky, the rest from out of state. No, it’s a random act.
