Manhunt for Kentucky Shooter Enters Fifth Day

The search for Joseph Couch, suspected of shooting five people on Interstate 75 in Laurel County, Kentucky, continues into its fifth day. Couch, a former Army Reserve member, allegedly opened fire on vehicles from a ledge overlooking the interstate, injuring five but killing none. His car and a newly purchased AR-15 rifle were found near the scene, but Couch remains at large, possibly hiding in the dense Daniel Boone National Forest. Neighbors report past erratic and threatening behavior from Couch, including pointing rifles at them and killing their pets. Local schools have been closed as authorities, including federal, state, and local law enforcement, conduct an extensive manhunt, with a $35,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The incident has reignited debates on gun control, with critics highlighting the ease with which Couch acquired his weapon.
