He was reportedly arrested last month on charges of making terroristic threats but had been released on a $1,000 bond.
An active shooter opened fire on as many as five people from the side of a rural Kentucky highway on Saturday evening before fleeing, triggering a large-scale manhunt, according to officials and reports. Police have identified Joseph Couch, 32, an army vet as a person of interest in the case, warning people that he is considered “armed and dangerous.”
Couch allegedly began firing around 6 p.m., either from an overpass or a wooded area along the I-75 highway, roughly nine miles from London, KY, near the Daniel Boone National Forest, as reported by the Courier-Journal. Couch is described as a white male, about 5’10” tall, and weighing around 154 pounds.
Shooter on the Loose
Couch, 32, remained on the run Saturday night, hours after the shooting took place. Authorities believe he escaped into a nearby wooded area. He was reportedly arrested last month on charges of making terroristic threats but had been released on a $1,000 bond.
