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]
Well I think @Super Goku V we need to go ahead and have that discussion. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 22:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because they found the body of (presumably Joseph Couch) near the interstate, dead. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 22:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See below where I pinged you earlier. --Super Goku V (talk) 06:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Location

[edit]

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?

[edit]

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]
@Hurricane Clyde Seems like the person of interest was located. --Super Goku V (talk) 21:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And he is dead. Which now calls into question what do we call him? Because @WWGB said that he had to be convicted (which now will never happen) before we call him “the shooter”; so what do we call him? “The presumed shooter”? Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 22:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once Couch is confirmed dead, the protections afforded by BLPCRIME are no longer necessary. It would then be reasonable to refer to him as the "perpetrator" or the "shooter" as appropriate. WWGB (talk) 02:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As WWGB says. The only remaining protections would be on his family under BLPNAME, specifically his ex-wife in this case. --Super Goku V (talk) 06:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
