LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A body has been found in the area where the I-75 mass shooting happened.

According to Kentucky State Police, the body was found near Exit 49, and they are now working to confirm the identity of the body.

Police say on September 7, Joseph Couch opened fire in Laurel County on I-75 near Exit 49. Five people were shot and survived. Authorities have been searching for him since.

This comes a day after Governor Andy Beshear and Kentucky law enforcement leaders announced they were adjusting the deployment of some of the resources involved with the manhunt back into the community.

The manhunt had been stretching local agencies thin. We’re told hundreds of tips had been submitted to law enforcement, and more than 28,000 acres of Daniel Boone National Forest were searched.

This is a developing story.
