Kentucky highway shooting suspect believed to have been found dead

Police say they believe they have found the body of a suspected gunman who went on a highway shooting spree that wounded five people in Kentucky ten days ago.

The body was found during the manhunt in Laurel County, along with accessories that have led police to conclude it is that of suspect Joseph Couch, authorities said in a press conference on Wednesday evening.

Officials have been searching for Mr Couch since 7 September, when the 32-year-old is alleged to have shot at drivers on Interstate 75 before disappearing into the remote area.

Police say they are still working to formally identify the remains.
