Washington: 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."
The suspected shooter opened fire onto Interstate 75 from a wooded area off the highway, Weddle said.
There were "multiple severe injuries" but no confirmed deaths, local news station WYMT reported.
