Schools have reopened with extra security in the Kentucky county where a gunman who remains at large opened fire on an interstate highway. A dozen vehicles were hit and five people wounded in the Sept. 7 attack on Interstate 75. Authorities continue searching for the shooter. Public schools in Laurel County were in session on Tuesday for the first time since the assailant sprayed bullets onto the interstate. The search for the suspected gunman, 32-year-old Joseph Couch, has focused on a rugged, wooded area near the city of London. School administrators worked with law enforcement on the district’s reopening plan.
