Joseph Couch manhunt: Kentucky police pledge to find shooting suspect “dead or alive”

Schools remain closed in Laurel County, Ky., on Tuesday as authorities continue searching for the man accused of shooting at cars along Interstate 75 and injuring five people. The Laurel County Sheriff's office identified 32-year-old Joseph Couch as the suspect, after finding an AR-15 in a car linked to him. An affidavit shows that the suspect sent a text message before the shooting saying that he was going to kill a lot of people, and then kill himself. “Our main focus is to remain in those woods until we find him,” said Kentucky State Police public information officer Scottie Pennington. “If he's dead or alive, it's our job to try to find him and that's what we're going to do.” A reward for Couch's arrest is now up to $35,000 and crews are focusing their search efforts in a remote stretch of Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest.
