Joseph A. Couch

The shooter is named Joseph a couch per BNO news 2601:800:8200:5A00:6720:C276:9EDC:6E09 (talk) 00:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is NOT the shooter. He is a "person of interest" at this time. WWGB (talk) 03:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WWGB: Per WYMT; he is the primary suspect and he’s been charged with attempted murder. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricane Clyde: Charged? He has not even been arrested yet! For now, he is a "suspect". If charged, he becomes "the accused". If found guilty, he becomes "the perpetrator". Only then can we call him "the shooter". WWGB (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Https://www.wymt.com very top story and a bunch of other ones on there. There is a warrant out for his arrest; charging him with five counts of attempted murder. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we’re conforming to your technicalities; he is already “the accused”; and furthermore @WWGB: what happens if he is discovered dead because he committed suicide? Then what do we call him? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:45, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We can have a discussion then about the situation. For now, keep SUSPECT in mind. --Super Goku V (talk) 22:05, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Location

So, CNN ^[1] said it was exit 49 on I-75 in KY, near London.

Google Maps says that interchange is at Highway 909, Rockcastle River Forestry Rd, East Bernstadt, Laurel County, KY 40729, USA 37°13′35″N 84°12′55″W / 37.226302°N 84.215399°W / 37.226302; -84.215399 -- 64.229.88.34 (talk) 00:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ITN nomination?

Assuming the deletion discussion is closed before it’s too late; is there any way we can nominate this for WP:ITN? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:45, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’ll obviously have to be expanded some first. But we can do the expanding now even while the AfD is going on. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:49, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this meets the standards of ITN, but you can try when/if they arrest a person of interest. --Super Goku V (talk) 22:03, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
