KINGSTON, Tenn. - A state prison inmate escaped Tuesday after his wife opened fire and killed a correctional officer escorting him outside the Roane County Courthouse, authorities said.
An extensive search was under way for the pair, identified as George and Jennifer Hyatte, and authorities were trying to determine if a second man, who may be an accomplice, was escaping with them, Sheriff David Haggard said.
The officer, Wayne “Cotton” Morgan, was shot in the stomach and died after he was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, about 30 miles east, hospital spokeswoman Lisa McNeal said.
