Authorities search for shooter along I-75 in southeastern Kentucky with up to 7 people hurt

[K.I.T.T.]

LONDON, Ky. (AP) — A manhunt was underway early Sunday as police searched for a gunman in a rural area of southeastern Kentucky near Interstate 75, according to authorities who said up to seven people were hurt in the shooting and a vehicle accident that accompanied the violence.

The shooting began just after 6:30 p.m. Saturday and was followed by an intense search for a suspect by multiple law enforcement agencies. The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said in a post on Facebook that it was an “active shooter situation” and “numerous persons” were shot near the highway.

In a video statement, London Mayor Randall Weddle said he was told seven people were hurt, but not all of those were wounded by gunfire. Some of the victims were injured in an accident when the shooting started, he said.

London, a small city of about 8,000, is located about 75 miles (120 kilometers) south of Lexington.

“There are no deceased at this time. No one was killed from this, thankfully, but we ask that you continue to pray,” Weddle said.

I read that the sheriff needed to call his daughter but had no reception, so he asked to use the judges cell. But when he manually entered his daughter's number is popped up as SAVED in his contacts. The sheriff assumed the worst and killed the man shortly thereafter.
