Quote from: CNNManhunt underway after several people shot in Kentucky near Interstate 75, officials say

A manhunt is underway for at least one suspect after several people were shot Saturday near an interstate in a rural area of Laurel County, Kentucky, located south of Lexington, according to the sheriff's office.

The active shooter situation occurred near Interstate 75, about nine miles north of the city of London, where "numerous persons have been shot," said the Laurel County Sheriff's Office.

The London Police Department has identified 32-year-old Joseph A. Couch as a person of interest who is considered "armed and dangerous." He is described as a White man, roughly 5 foot, 10 inches, weighing about 154 pounds, police said.

The agency is urging people to contact their 911 call center with "any information regarding the whereabouts or location on this individual."

Kentucky State Police Trooper Scottie Pennington said via social media the suspect "has not been caught at this time. We are urging people to stay inside." Law enforcement will provide "as much information as it becomes available," he added.
