More than 24 hours after a gunman opened fire on Interstate 75, injuring five people, dozens of law enforcement officers are searching the dense woods of rural Laurel County, Ky., for the suspect.
The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office has identified Joseph A. Couch, 32, as the suspect thought to have fired into nine cars on the north- and southbound lanes of the interstate on Saturday. Authorities believe he’s still in the remote area near where his car and a rifle were found.There were no fatalities, Acciardo said Sunday afternoon, but some of the injuries were “very severe”: One victim was shot in the face and another “across the chest.
The shooter did not appear to have targeted specific people, but the attack seemed to be “a planned event,” Acciardo said Sunday evening. Couch has a minimal criminal history, but “nothing of any significance” or like the Saturday shooting. Several people have been shot near Interstate 75 in Laurel County, Kentucky, according to the Laurel County Sheriff’s office.
“It’s very tedious and stressful,” Acciardo said of the search. “We’re just going to keep on plugging, because that’s what we do.”Officers are expanding the search parameters as they search, Acciardo said. Speaking at the Sunday evening news conference, London Mayor Randall Weddle said he hoped “people understand that this travesty, this act of violence, doesn’t define us as a community.”What started as a family day out ended with a trip to the emergency room for one of the shooting’s victims, 28-year-old Rebecca Puryear.
“The next thing I know, my ears are ringing. I look over and my window is busted and there’s a bullet hole.” “I started fainting and going in and out, and he told me to get in his cruiser so he could take me to the hospital.” It wasn’t until roughly an hour and a half later DiNoto and her friend learned about the shooting andnoticed what appeared to be paint scrapes on the back of her car.Air Canada begins preparations for shutdown as union talks near impasse
