Kentucky Highway Gunman Shoots Five—and Remains on the Loose
Residents in southeastern Kentucky were urged to “remain vigilant” Sunday after a highway gunman injured five people while reportedly camped out and shooting at passing cars.
Police in Laurel County said officers who responded to a 911 call early Saturday evening on Interstate 75 found vehicles with bullet holes parked on the side of the highway and several injured people.
“Some of them were injured so badly and bleeding so bad that our deputies actually loaded them up and took them to an area hospital,” said Laurel County Sheriff public information officer Gilbert Acciardo at a Sunday media briefing. “Everything was chaotic.” The five victims are expected to recover and were listed in stable condition.
