Sicko who shot at drivers on Kentucky highway still on the loose after 7 people injured: It was a madhouse

A sicko who shot motorists on a rural Kentucky highway was on the loose Sunday — one day after he blasted five people and caused a crash that injured two others, cops said.Multiple law enforcement agencies were searching for the shooter after he fired at a stretch of Interstate 75 in the small city of London, Kentucky on Saturday.All of the victims were in stable condition early Sunday, though some had “very serious” injuries, including one person who was shot in the face, deputy Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, said.Cops identified Joseph A.

Couch, 32, as a person of interest, warning locals that he should be considered “armed and dangerous.” Couch is described as a white male approximately 5’10 and weighing 154 pounds.Acciardo cautioned, however, that authorities “have not determined that this is the individual that fired the weapon.”Police arrived at a chaotic scene and saw several cars pulled off at the exit as well as nine vehicles with bullet holes.“When our first two units got to the scene there, they said it was a madhouse: people on the sides of the road, emergency flashers going, bullet holes, windows shot out, nine vehicles shot.Can you imagine that? Just chaotic,” Acciardo said during a Sunday news conference.

Officers searched the remote, wooded area but the search was temporarily suspended due to darkness.The search started up again early Sunday morning as authorities also worked to determine where the gunman fired from.

Acciardo said authorities did not believe the shooting was a result of road rage.Local lawmakers are urging residents in the area to stay home as police continue to search for the gunman.

The Interstate was closed 9 miles north of London but reopened three hours later, officials said.The FBI, the US Marshal’s Service and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting local authorities in the investigation, officials said.With Post wires...
