LONDON, Ky. (WTVF) — Seven people were injured and multiple people were shot on Interstate 75 8 miles outside London, Kentucky Saturday night.
Around 5:30 p.m., Laurel County Sheriff deputies were dispatched to I75. Nine cars driving both north and south bound were shot into, injuring five people. All who were injured were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
The interstate was closed for several hours, due to the threat of a suspect or suspects on the run. It is open now, and as of Sunday morning police say the investigation is continuing and a possible suspect is Joseph A. Couch, 32, pictured below. He is considered armed and dangerous, so do not approach if you see him.
If you have any information on his whereabouts, you can contact the London-Laurel County 911 Center by calling 911 or 606-878-7000.
This is all the information we have right now. We will update you as we hear more.
I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
