Suspect in Kentucky Highway Shooting Found Dead

The search for the suspect involved in the recent Kentucky highway shooting, which left five people wounded, has come to a tragic end with the discovery of a body believed to be that of the shooter. Kentucky State Police reported that the body was found near the site of the I-75 mass shooting, specifically off Exit 49 in Laurel County. Authorities believe the remains likely belong to Joseph Couch, the suspect accused of opening fire on motorists. The body was reportedly uncovered by a couple who were livestreaming nearby. This marks a significant development in an ongoing investigation that had seen law enforcement intensively scouring the area for the past 11 days. Officials have expressed their regret at not being able to apprehend Couch alive and are currently working to confirm the identity of the remains found.
