Search for Kentucky Highway Shooting Suspect Ends with Discovery of Body

Authorities have confirmed the discovery of a body in Laurel County, believed to belong to Joseph Couch, the suspected shooter involved in a recent I-75 mass shooting incident in Kentucky. The body was located after a couple, who had been scouring the woods for days, stumbled upon it during their search and livestreamed the event. An autopsy revealed that Couch died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Kentucky State Police, initially focused on a manhunt, have now shifted their efforts to road patrols following this revelation. Officials express relief that the search has concluded, though they also lament the loss of a suspect who could have provided answers directly regarding the violent outbreak that left five individuals wounded.
