WELCOME, YOU'RE WATCHING CNN NEWSROOM. >> I'M LYNDA KINCADE RETURNING NOW TO OUR BREAKING NEWS, A MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY AFTER FIVE PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND WOUNDED NEAR A BUSY INTERSTATE IN KENTUCKY IT HAPPENED SATURDAY AFTERNOON. YOU'RE INTERSTATE 75 IN LAUREL COUNTY, JUST NORTH OF LONDON, KENTUCKY. THE LONDON POLICE DEPARTMENT RELEASED A PHOTO OF WHO THEY CALL A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THAT SHOOTING AT 32-YEAR-OLD WHITE MAN NAMED JOSEPH, A COUCH HE'S ABOUT FIVE FOOT TEN AND WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 154 POUNDS. POLICE SAY HE IS CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS PLACE OF CLOSED A SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THAT ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATION, URGING RESIDENTS IN THE AREA TO STAY INDOORS WITH THEIR DOORS LOCKED, NEED OF ESTATE HAS NOW REOPENED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE LAUREL COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT SAID ALL FIVE VICTIMS ARE IN STABLE CONDITION. JULIETTE KAYYEM IS A CNN SENIOR NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST AND FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND DEFENSE AND JOINS US NOW, LIVE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. JULIETTE OF COURSE, WE KNOW A MASS SHOOTINGS VERY COMMON HERE IN THE U.s. THIS ONE HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE. HOW UNUSUAL IS THAT? AND WHAT COULD THAT TELL YOU ABOUT A POSSIBLE MOTIVE? >> SO IT'S IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT IT IS UNUSUAL. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN WE SEE MASS SHOOTINGS OR ACTIVE SHOOTERS, THERE'S EITHER A THEATER OR THERE'S A LARGE ACCESSIBLE CROWD AS SCHOOL OF THEATER A BAR, BECAUSE THE PERSON PRESUMABLY WANTS TO HAVE A MASS CASUALTY EVENT. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR ESSENTIALLY GOING AFTER CARS IS INTENDED FOR TWO THINGS. ONE IS OF COURSE, TO GO AFTER A PARTICULAR TARGET INDIVIDUALS DRIVERS, OR PASSENGERS. BUT ALSO TOO, IN SOME WAYS WITNESS THE RESPONSE WHICH IS CARS OUT OF CONTROL, CROP CARS TRYING TO THE NOISE WE HAVE TESTIMONIALS ABOUT PEOPLE HEARING NOISES AND WANTING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND SO THERE'S A CERTAIN I WOULD SAY PERFORMATIVE ASPECT TO IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN THE DAYTIME. I THINK THAT EXPLAINS HOW THEY KNOW WHO IT IS OR CLEARLY ENOUGH EYEWITNESSES TO AT LEAST NARROW DOWN ON THE SEARCH. SO NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF FINDING WHERE WHERE SPECIFICALLY HE IS. >> YEAH, IT WAS INTERESTING TO NOTE JULIETTE, HOW QUICKLY POLICE IDENTIFIED THIS MAN AS A CASE SUSPECT IN THIS MASS SHOOTING? WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU AND HOW WILL THAT HELP THEM, ANGEL? >> I MEAN, THE DIFFERENCE IS EVEN IN JUST THE LAST TEN YEARS IS ANYONE NEARBY IS NOW IS NOT JUST AN EYEWITNESS, BUT IS HAS HAS A JOURNALIST AND SO PRESUMABLY WHAT HAPPENED IS PEOPLE ARE TAKING PICTURES, ARE TAKING VIDEOS, THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. THEY CAN NARROW DOWN THE CAR THERE'S EVEN IN THESE INTERSTATES IN MORE RURAL STATES, THERE'S, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF RADAR, ALL SORTS OF VISUALS. SO THAT ONCE THEY PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, THERE'S HIGHWAY CAMERAS, THERE'S INDIVIDUAL CAMERAS, THEN THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHO WERE IN FACT WERE THE SHOTS COMING FROM? THEY CAN TELL THAT BY THE NOISE AND THEN FIGURE OUT WHO OWNS THE CAR THE CAR IDENTIFICATION LIKELY LEAD TO THE PERPETRATORS IDENTIFICATION AND HE'S LIKELY ON THE RUN AND KNOWING THAT HE'S NOW BEEN BEEN CAUGHT, HIS MOTIVE MAY BE BE EXCEPTIONALLY PERVERSE HE JUST WANTED TO HAVE AN EVENT THAT THAT WOULD NOT ONLY HARM PEOPLE, BUT WOULD HARM OTHERS WHO WERE NOT SHOT AT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF WHAT A CAR ACCIDENT OR A CAR SWERVING WOULD ENTAIL. >> AND WE DO KNOWING THIS CASE, FIVE PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN THE SHOOTING, DON'T HAVE DETAILS ON THE THREE IS WE KNOW THAT TO STILL AT LEAST TWO IS STILL IN HOSPITAL. BUT IN TERMS OF THE MANHUNT WHAT SORT OF RESOURCES WE DEPLOYED COME FIRST LIGHT SO RIGHT NOW, SO EXACTLY FIRST LIGHT IS THE KEY PART HERE. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD TO DO AND A LOT OF THESE RURAL AREAS, WITHOUT THE LIGHT, BUT ONCE A COUPLE OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING, ONE IS OF COURSE, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND SORT OF FIGURING WHAT ARE IS THIS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR DOES HE GO FISHING AND A CERTAIN PLACE DOES HE GO HUNTING? IN A CERTAIN PLACE? SECOND, AS HE PRESUMABLY HE HAS A CELL PHONE AND OTHER WAYS TO MONITOR WHAT WHERE HE MIGHT BE CREDIT CARDS, BANK, BANK, ATM CARDS. HE'S GOING TO GET HUNGRY. HE'S GOING TO GET THIRSTY AT SOME STAGE, ESPECIALLY IF HE WAS NOT INTENDING AN EXIT, THEN YOU'D WANT TO HAVE AERIAL SURVEILLANCE. SO THE SECOND THE LIE COMES OUT, THERE'LL BE HELICOPTERS, DRONES, AND OTHERS TRYING TO IDENTIFY OTHER AERIAL VIEWS, TRYING TO GET LARGE SWATHS OF VISUALS OVER OVER THIS AREA SO THESE THINGS ARE SCARY IN REAL TIME. I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT JUST GIVEN HOW FAST IT'S GONE, THAT UNLESS HE WAS VERY PREPARED FOR AN EXIT AND A LONG STAY AWAY, HE WILL EVENTUALLY DO SOMETHING BY WATER, BUY FOOD, NEED GAS THAT WILL EXPOSE HIM YEAH, EXACTLY. >> SO WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE, JULIETTE, TO ANYONE WHO MAY COME ACROSS THIS SUSPECT THAT I MEAN, NO NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. >> STAY AWAY. CALL POLICE LOCK THE DOORS, DO NOT ENGAGE AND THERE'S NO REASON TO THAT AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, HE IS IT'S ON THE RUN. HE'S ON DEFENSE AND DON'T PEOPLE SHOULD NOT MAKE THEMSELVES A PART OF A STORY. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE A PART OF. AND THAT'S REALLY KEY AT THIS STAGE NO HARM HAS BEEN DONE. >> YEAH, STAY SAFE. COOL. 911. JULIETTE KAYYEM. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AS ALWAYS. THANKS SO MUCH. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU ELIE AND MY COLLEAGUE, JESSICA DEAN SPOKE WITH KRISTINA DENOTE OAHU SAYS HER CAR WAS SHOT AT WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON THAT INTERSTATE JOINING US. >> NOW, IS KRISTINA DENOTED WHO WAS AN EYEWITNESS TO THE SHOOTING AND SHE TELLS US SHE WAS SHOT AT WHILE SHE WAS ON I75, CHRISTINA. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I KNOW THIS IS STILL REALLY FRESH FOR YOU. YOU AND A FRIEND, RIGHT? WERE ON A TRIP DRIVING FROM TENNESSEE TO NEW YORK? IS THAT RIGHT YEAH. >> MY FRIEND JEREMY AND I WERE ACTUALLY DRIVING FROM NEW YORK TO TENNESSEE SO WE WERE ON I75 AND KENTUCKY AROUND THE LONDON AREA. >> AND WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE JUST HEARD THIS DEAFENING, LOUD SOUND AND IT SOUNDED LIKE LIKE A ROCK WENT THROUGH MY BACK WINDOW AND OUR EARS WERE RINGING AND WE JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WE WERE LIKE, WAS THAT A GUNSHOT? AND THEN WE'RE LIKE THAT CAN'T BE A GUNSHOT BECAUSE WE'RE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A WHITE TRUCK THAT WAS NEXT TO US AND THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE SLOWED DOWN A PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS HIS TIRE HEAD BLOWN OUT OR SOMETHING, BUT IT WAS MUCH LOUDER THAN A TIRE BLOWING OUT THAT WAS JUST SO LOUD AND SO SCARY IT'S SOMETHING VERY UNEXPECTED WHILE YOU'RE JUST DRIVING. >> SO THAT WAS WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, WE JUST SAW DOZENS THE POLICE VEHICLES GOING IN THAT DIRECTION. >> I BELIEVE IT'S NORTHBOUND ON MY 75 AND WE WERE LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AND WE SAW TONS OF TYRE HIGHER SHREDS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IT'S ALL THESE THINGS WERE HAPPENING WITH DIDN'T REALLY ADD UP AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WE GOT A CALL FROM JEREMY, DAD, AND HE SAID HE WAS WATCHING CNN AND WHAT THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ON ICE 75 JUST BESIDE OURSELVES, LIKE, OH, MY GOD, WE JUST DRIVE THROUGH A SHOOTING SO WE MADE IT TO KNOXVILLE AND GOT OUT AND CHECKED MY CAR. AND ON THE RIM OF MY ACTUALLY OTOFERLIN AND ON THE RIM, THERE'S A HUGE HUGE INDENT. IT LOOKS LIKE A LIKE A BULLET DIVOT. >> AND THEN ALL THE PAIN IS CHIPPED OFF OF THE BACK PANEL OF MY FORERUNNER. >> THAT IS SO SO SCARY AND MUST HAVE BEEN SO CONFUSING BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, BUT IT'S SUCH A RARE THING TO HAPPEN. A SHOOTING ON AN ACTIVE INTERSTATE. DID YOU HAVE ANY WHERE THAT GUNSHOT CAME FROM? WAS IT COMING FROM A CAR? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA KNOW IF I HAD TO GUESS I WOULD SAY OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT HIT MY TIRES WHICH ARE PRETTY LOW TO THE GROUND SO I DON'T I DON'T IMAGINE IT CAME FROM A VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN. >> YEAH, IT'S HARD. WHEN YOU'RE MOVING PROBABLY SO QUICKLY. WERE YOU GOING WITH THE NORMAL RATE OF SPEED LIKE YOU WERE GOING THE NORMAL SPEED LIMIT, RIGHT? >> CORRECT. YES. YEAH. YEAH. THEN WHAT ABOUT I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE CAR THAT PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE. DID YOU SEE ANYBODY ELSE AROUND YOU BEING AFFECTED OR WAS IT KIND OF HAPPENING SO FAST IT HAPPENED VERY FAST, BUT I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE THE TRUCK THAT WAS NEXT TO US BECAUSE WE WERE KIND OF NECK AND NECK AT THE TIME AND THEN I JUST NOTICED HIM SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OFF AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, NORMALLY DON'T SEE PEOPLE JUST PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE LOUD NOISE THAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A GUNSHOT AT THE SAME TIME VERY CONFUSING AND IT ALL HAPPENED VERY FAST THAT MAKES SENSE NO, OF COURSE IT DOES. >> I THINK IN THOSE MOMENTS IT'S LIKE REALLY HARD TO PUT INTO CONTEXT WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND IT'S LOUD WHAT DID THE SOUND SOUND LIKE IT WAS SO AT SOUNDED LIKE LIKE A ROCK SMASHED THROUGH THE BACK WINDOW AND MY EAR WAS RINGING, MY RIGHT EAR AND IT HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND I WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SO THERE'S JUST A VERY LOUD AND I KNOW WHAT A TIRE BLOWOUT SOUNDS LIKE. >> AND IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE THAT IT WAS MUCH LOUDER AND IT WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SAID, IS THAT WAS THAT A GUNSHOT? BUT WE
