Kentucky police resume manhunt for gunman in I-75 shooting

A manhunt resumed in southeastern Kentucky early Sunday as law enforcement searched for the suspected gunman who authorities say opened fire near Interstate 75, injuring seven people in the shooting and a car accident.

Law enforcement agencies are combing the area along the highway on foot and with a drone after the shooting unfolded Saturday around 6 p.m. near exit 49, the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said.

Authorities have named Joseph A. Couch, 32, a person of interest in the shooting, and warned the public he is considered armed and dangerous.

Deputy Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, told reporters that authorities “have not determined that this is the individual that fired the weapon.”

The initial search on Saturday was suspended due to darkness, though officials kept the scene “contained” overnight, the sheriff’s office said.

“We do have the area contained right now. It’s a very fluid investigation. Our people are still on the scene. Our special response team is there. We are trying to find a shooter there,” Acciardo said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the sheriff’s office for more details about the multi-day search.

Investigators believe there was only one shooter, according to Acciardo, and they do not believe that road rage was a factor leading up to the shooting.

Police initially responded to reports that a suspect was shooting at drivers from an overpass or a wooded area, multiple media accounts have said.

London Mayor Randall Weddle previously said that no deaths have been reported.

Acciardo said five people were shot and were all in stable condition early Sunday, although some of the victims had “very serious” injuries, including one person who was shot in the face.

Two other people were hurt in the vehicle accident, he said.

Weddle noted in an address to the public on social media that the search area includes “some rugged terrain and a lot of treeline.”

“I’m not asking anybody to panic, there is no immediate danger here in the city, but again… we are asking everybody to be safe,” the mayor said, adding that residents should be “vigilant” as police search for Couch.

Couch is described as a White man about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing around 154 pounds.

Northern Kentucky claims 4 titles at Class 3A indoor track state meet

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association indoor state track meet rolled on on Wednesday, March 4. One day after Beechwood claimed the Class 1A boys team title, three Northern Kentucky big schools combined for four individual state titles in Class 3A.

Cooper’s Paul Van Laningham won the 3,200-meter run in 9:09.49 and took second place in the 1,600-meter run in 4:07.88. It was a reversal of his results at the 2025 indoor state meet and earned him his fifth overall state title. He scored all of Cooper’s points, good for ninth place in the team standings with 18 points.

Van Laningham’s teammate, Ava Dunn, got the day started with a shot put title, throwing the 8.82-pound ball 39 feet, 3.25 inches.

Simon Kenton’s Alexis Howard won the long jump with an attempt of 18 feet, 7.25 inches, then claimed the triple jump title with a distance of 37 feet, 4.25 inches. It is her second straight indoor long jump title and third overall as she also claimed the 2024 outdoor title. Taking fifth place in the 55-meter dash, she scored all 24 points for SK, finishing in a tie for eighth place. Cooper was right behind with 22 points.

Finally, Conner’s Avery Vanlandingham win the 800-meter run in 2:17.55, out-leaning North Oldham’s Millie Huang at the line.

PENSACOLA, Fla. — Marcavia Shavers posts 21 points and 13 rebounds to lead ULM Warhawks women’s basketball past Louisiana 79-63 in the Sun Belt Conference tournament.

ULM (15-15, 7-11 Sun Belt) took control early, outscoring Louisiana 17-7 in the first quarter and extending the lead to 41-21 by halftime. The Warhawks never trailed and led by as many as 28 points in the second quarter.

Shavers anchored the inside for ULM, finishing 9-of-15 from the field with 13 rebounds. Jazmine Jackson added 17 points off the bench, knocking down four 3-pointers, while J’Mani Ingram scored 16 points and dished out six assists.

ULM shot 46.9% from the field and held a 42-27 advantage on the boards. The Warhawks also converted Louisiana turnovers into 29 points and scored 26 second-chance points.

Louisiana (5-26, 2-16 Sun Belt) was led by Mikaylah Manley with 18 points and Imani Daniel with 17 points and seven rebounds. Amijah Price chipped in 12 points.

After struggling early, Louisiana shot better in the second half, scoring 42 points after the break. However, the early deficit proved too much to overcome.

ULM advances in the Sun Belt tournament, while Louisiana closes its season with the loss.
