The search for the alleged I-75 gunman in southeastern Kentucky is now in its 11th day.

Today, officials announced they're reallocating resources and the manhunt for Joseph Cout.

That means they're reducing the number of officers actively searching and the Daniel Boone National Forest and beefing up security in surrounding communities.

Governor Andy Beshear joined Kentucky State Police, the FBI and others today to explain the reason for the shift.

With the evidence right now.

I don't think you can definitively say he's still in the forest.

He's outside of the forest or that he's still alive.

And so what do you do when when that's the instance you bring as much of the public safety personnel to the public to make sure that we are prepared regardless of which of the three of those is is true.

And remember, the manhunt continues just through different means.

The deployment of a lot of cameras should help us detect movement within the forest.

If he is still there, aircraft when available will still be used is just changing the way we're going about that piece and putting more of our sworn personnel, our uniformed law enforcement in the community so that if he's still out there, he knows he shouldn't come anywhere near our people because he's fine.

Law enforcement officers are ready to go.

We thank W lax tv for the use of that video.

Couch is accused of shooting and hitting five people and a dozen vehicles along Interstate 75 in Laurel County on September the seventh.

Fortunately, no one was killed.

Police quickly found the suspect's SUV and an assault rifle near the scene and have since followed up on hundreds of tips.

But today, state police said there's no new evidence in their search.
