Summary
The Kentucky I-75 shooting incident involved a manhunt for suspect Joseph Couch, who allegedly opened fire on the freeway, injuring five people on September 7, 2024. After days of searching, Couch’s body was discovered near the shooting site, and DNA testing confirmed his identity.
Following the shooting, a massive manhunt was initiated by law enforcement, engaging local, state, and federal agencies. During this time, schools in the surrounding districts canceled classes due to safety concerns. Couch had reportedly sent threatening messages prior to the shooting, indicating intentions to harm others and himself. His body was ultimately found in a remote area, with preliminary investigations suggesting he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The case has raised questions about gun access and mental health, as authorities continue to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
