Authorities in Kentucky are currently searching for a man suspected of shooting at cars on a rural stretch of the I-75 highway, leaving as many as seven people injured. The shooting occurred near London, with multiple severe injuries reported but no confirmed deaths. The incident led to the temporary closure of Interstate 75, a major US highway.
The suspected shooter has been identified as 32-year-old Joseph Couch, who is considered armed and dangerous. Authorities are cautioning the public not to approach him if spotted. The shots were believed to have been fired from a wooded area or overpass near the highway.
This shooting comes shortly after a tragic school shooting in Georgia, where two students and two teachers were killed. A 14-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the attack, while his father faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder for allegedly buying the gun used.
Gun violence remains a prevalent issue in the United States, a country where there are more firearms than people. The search for the suspect in the Kentucky highway shooting continues as authorities work to ensure the safety of the public and bring the perpetrator to justice.
