\nPolice are entering week two in their search for a dangerous suspect accused of shooting multiple people on a busy interstate in southeastern Kentucky on Saturday, September 7.<\/p>\n
The small community of London has been shaken since investigators said 32-year-old Joseph Couch fired at vehicles with an AR-15 from a ledge overlooking I-75, wounding five people. Police revealed they received a tip less than 30 minutes before the shooting about a text Couch sent to a woman saying he would \u201ckill a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luckily, there were no fatalities in the shooting.<\/p>\n
Police recovered the AR-15, ammunition and a vehicle registered in Couch\u2019s name near the scene.<\/p>\n
Four of the five victims have since been released from the hospital with the last victim expected to survive.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Kentucky State Police stepped up patrols at high school football games while telling the public to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings.<\/p>\n
Various law enforcement agencies, including the Kentucky Division of Forestry, have increased search efforts and are expected to press deeper into the Daniel Boone National Forest.<\/p>\n
Surveillance, intelligence, ATV, canines, or bloodhounds, police are hoping there is a successful conclusion to Couch\u2019s capture.<\/p>\n
They believe he is still alive, armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n
If you have any information, you are asked to call London-Laurel County 911 at (606) 878-7000 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
