The manhunt for two fugitives who escaped their prison bus and murdered two corrections officers in Georgia came to a spectacular end in Tennessee. It was all made possible because an armed homeowner who helped police capture the killers.
Ricky Dubose and Donnie Rowe had been on the run for three days after they took part in the killing Sgt. Chris Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue.
According to law enforcement officials, the fugitives abandoned a truck they had stolen after it had been made known to them that the authorities had identified it to the public on Wednesday. Stealing another car, they home invaded an elderly couple’s house and held them hostage for three hours. Eventually the couples car was stolen by the two criminals, and eventually the old couple were able to get loose from their bands and call the police.
The killers were spotted in the car by Police in Shelbyville, Tennessee, and the chase was on. One witnesses account: “All of a sudden, I look up from my phone and I see a state trooper. He’s got an assault rifle, he’s got his finger on the trigger and he’s like, ‘As soon as I tell you, turn around and go the opposite way on the highway.’”
The murderers shot at the police with weapons they had obtained, as they tried to speed away, but at length they crashed the stolen car into the woods and booked it towards a nearby home.
Fortunately, that home they ran too housed an armed homeowner, and after calling the police and his neighbors, they were able to keep the killers prone, face down on the driveway until police arrived and arrested them. Read more.....
