LONDON, Ky. — Dozens of law enforcement officers are combing through the rugged terrain of southeastern Kentucky for a third day Monday as they search for the man suspected of shooting of nine vehicles and wounding five people on a busy interstate.
Joseph A. Couch, 32, was named a suspect in Saturday’s shootings on Interstate 75 near London, Kentucky, after authorities said they found his SUV on a service road near the crime scene. They later found an AR-15 nearby they believe was used in the shooting, said Dep. Gilbert Acciardo, a spokesperson for the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.


Commentary:
WHAS News broadcast reports that the AR-15 was purchased the day of the shooting and that the shooter was in the "National Guard' for 4 years. State Police have now taken the lead.
The LEO’s don’t have enough long time hill country types in their ranks, esp. those who know the area well. Where’s US Marshal Raylan when ya’ need him?

And to think...up to the split second before he pulled the trigger, he was a member of the well regulated militia.

Ridiculous.

He is in great danger from the squirrel hunters and meth labs in them thar hills. This has turned into a rescue mission.

But, but, but.....He was on their radar.

Things can sorta slip through the cracks though.

A guy tried to transfer a gun the other day to another guy at the pawn shop.....During the VSP background check the VSP showed-up and picked him up (the guy getting the gun) on several outstanding warrants.

Yesterday his background check cleared! The shop called the VSP and asked if the guy was OK to be called and receive the gun.....They seemed confused and told the shop to hold it till they could come and pick it up.
