Authorities provide update on manhunt for Kentucky man accused in I-75 shooting​

At about 3:54; the trooper mentions "dogs".
SAR ?

Sooo... As well as the officer mentioning despite people being wounded (some seriously :() ; no one has died.
Perp is looking at serious time but prob. not life w/o parole.
It sounds like LE are onto the right person --as if it wasn't him and he could prove it, he'd have already turned himself in ?
And it sounds like he acted alone.
There's no one else out there doing this.

Please let no one else be harmed.
He has to be getting hungry and bitten by bugs ?
If he's holed up somewhere, hope they can find him.

Just turn yourself in, Joe C. !

Imo.

More details about Couch's arrest in February for the incident that occurred in 2023.

... According to a Knox County warrant, Couch allegedly threw a rock at another man’s dog and when asked why he did so, he started cursing, went inside his home, and came back armed with an AR-15.

He then allegedly told the man that he would kill him and the dog, per court documents. The warrant states that the man’s 9-year-old daughter was present for the entire exchange.

Even this article says the shootings were at 5:30 PM. It was really between 9:30 and 10 AM. Why can’t the media get things right? Pretty picture of Kentucky though.

The shooting was indeed in the late afternoon, not in the morning.

Bbm.
Snipped for focus.

Wonder if he's somewhere planning another attack on innocent people he most likely has never met ?
If he is, he may wind up going out in the proverbial blaze; but I hope not as LE could be killed.
Either that, or pass judgment on himself.

He could very well get a life sentence, the bolded statement to the ex sounds like premeditation.

I think he’s probably already dead, or just trying to escape if he isn’t.

I’m just hoping they find him eventually, but I think there’s a chance he is never found.
