Manhunt underway in US after Kentucky highway shooting injures five

Five people were shot along a highway in the southern US state of Kentucky, US media reported Saturday, as police hunted for a suspect considered “armed and dangerous.”

Randall Weddle, mayor of London, Kentucky, told local media that in addition to the wounded there were more people hurt in a car accident caused by the shooting.

The shooting did not appear to be random, he told the Louisville Courier Journal, while a radio host reported that it was sparked “by two cars in an altercation.”
