Kentucky Highway Shooter Manhunt Shifts Focus to Local Communities

Authorities redirect search efforts from forest to residential areas after 11 days without new leads.

Joseph Couch, 32, is suspected of shooting at vehicles on Interstate 75, injuring five people on September 7.
The search initially covered 28,000 acres of dense forest but has now moved to nearby communities based on over 400 tips.
Kentucky State Police and local law enforcement have increased patrols around schools, bus routes, and public events to reassure residents.
Authorities found Couch's car, an AR-15 rifle, and ammunition near the initial shooting site, but have not located Couch himself.
The U.S. Marshals Service has named Couch a fugitive, and a $35,000 reward is offered for information leading to his arrest.
