SUMMARY: In Laurel County, a manhunt for suspect Joseph Couch continues 11 days after his alleged shooting spree on I-75. Governor Andy Beshear emphasized that the state will not succumb to fear, stating that the priority is community safety. Over 28,000 acres in the Daniel Boone National Forest have been searched, but with limited results, law enforcement is shifting strategies. They will redirect resources from the forest to local communities, increasing patrols to create a stronger public safety presence. Officials have pursued every tip but have yet to locate Couch, who is still at large.

As 10 days have passed since the shooting on I-75 in Laurel County, state and area leaders held a briefing Tuesday afternoon regarding the ongoing manhunt for the suspect.

Impacts of Israel-Iran conflict on Kentucky

Published

www.youtube.com – FOX 56 News – 2025-06-13 21:25:32

SUMMARY: Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated following Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, prompting Iranian retaliation. In Kentucky, Rabbi Shlomo Litvin of the Kentucky Jewish Council defended Israel’s actions, citing Iran’s growing nuclear threat. The conflict’s global repercussions are already hitting Americans at the gas pump, with oil prices jumping over 8% to \$74 a barrel. Gas, diesel, and jet fuel prices are expected to rise further, with Lexington possibly seeing 10–20 cent increases per gallon. Analysts emphasize oil pricing is a global issue, minimally influenced by U.S. leadership, and driven by broader geopolitical dynamics.

A decades-long shadow war between Israel and Iran came to its tipping point as Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear and military facilities in the early hours of Friday morning.
