Police continue their search for a man wanted after shootings along Interstate 75 in Laurel County on Saturday.

Police say shots hit 12 vehicles and left five people hurt.

This is making news all over the world.

Police call this man a suspect.

He's 32 year old Joseph Couch.

He's five foot ten, about £150, according to the arrest warrant.

Couch sent a text where he vowed to, quote, kill a lot of people, end quote.

Police say they found couches, SUV on a U.S. Forest Service road off Exit 49 near the shooting scene.

And they later found a semiautomatic weapon.

They think it was used in the shootings.

Police searched for Couch all day Sunday, stopped when darkness fell, then resumed the search at daybreak today.

State police from all across Kentucky have been brought in to help.

Troopers say in some areas the woods are so thick, they're using machetes to chop their way through because couch is still on the run.

About a dozen schools in the area canceled classes on Monday.

State police and the Laurel County sheriff talk to the media around 3 p.m. Eastern time.

We have video from WLS TV in Lexington.

Our goal is to apply a steady pressure and wearing Mr. Coutts down.

The longer he is in the wood.

You know, like last night it got pretty chilly and today it's got kind of human in hot.

Hopefully he has no water and nothing to eat and this time that we will wear him down and putting pressure on him with constant steady air.

Our helicopters flying over, drones flying over dogs in the in the woods, looking cars running up down the interstate.

Just things like that.

It's putting pressure on him.

And hopefully he'll eventually just walk out of the woods and give himself up.

But at this time, nobody has died.

And let's not make this if if he does have social media, if he does have a family out there that cares for him, you know, turn yourself in and don't make this worse than it is.

You know, just give up and make this and make our community get back to what it is.
