An “active shooter” blasted as many as five people when he fired into traffic from the side of a rural Kentucky highway Saturday night before disappearing — and he is now the subject of a massive manhunt, according to officials and reports.
The gunman was believed to have fired at about 6 p.m. from either an overpass or from a wooded area along the I-75 highway about nine miles away from the town of London, KY, which is home to part of the Daniel Boone National Forest, the Courier-Journal reports.
Cops identified Joseph A. Couch, 32, as a person of interest, warning locals that he should be considered “armed and dangerous.”
He is described as a white male approximately 5’10 weighing 154 pounds.
