High School Football Games Canceled as Police Hunt for Gunman Nears Second Week

As authorities keep searching for a highway shooter in Kentucky, a Friday night tradition of football, pep bands and cheering fans has been sidelined for some towns.
Games were canceled at a handful of high schools near where the assailant opened fire on Interstate 75 in southeastern Kentucky.
Twelve vehicles were hit and five people wounded in the attack last Saturday near London, a city of about 8,000 people roughly 75 miles south of Lexington.

Security was being bolstered at high school football games that played on Friday evening.
Authorities continue to search a rugged, wooded area where Joseph Couch, the suspected gunman, is presumed to be hiding. The area has cliff beds, sinkholes, caves and dense brush.
