Intense Manhunt for Kentucky Highway Shooter Enters Sixth Day

Authorities deploy advanced technology and increase security measures as search for suspect Joseph Couch continues in rugged terrain.

  • Joseph Couch, a former Army reservist, is wanted for a shooting spree on Interstate 75 near London, Kentucky, that injured five people.
  • Law enforcement, including FBI and U.S. Marshals, are using helicopters, drones with infrared technology, and K-9 units to track Couch in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
  • Governor Andy Beshear has increased police presence at local schools and public events to reassure the community and prevent further incidents.
  • Couch, who allegedly sent threatening texts before the attack, is considered armed and dangerous, prompting a $35,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
  • The search area is challenging due to dense vegetation and rugged terrain, but authorities remain determined to apprehend Couch and ensure public safety.
