LONDON, Ky.—Authorities searched a rugged and hilly area of southeastern Kentucky on Sunday for a man suspected in the shooting of nine vehicles and wounding of five people on a busy highway.
Joseph A. Couch, 32, was named a suspect in Saturday’s shootings on Interstate 75 after authorities recovered his SUV on a service road near the crime scene. They later found a rifle nearby that they believe was used in the shooting, said Deputy Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.
