Escaped Inmate Caught After 2-Day Manhunt

After a two-day manhunt, investigators shot a convicted killer who they say escaped jail last week.

The Johnston County Sheriff Gary Dodd said Baumgardner got out of his cell by breaking through a wall at the jail in Tishomingo on Wednesday.

Authorities tracked Shawn Baumgardner to Marshall County near the Oklahoma-Texas border.

"He almost hit several deputies and a sheriff who were standing on the roadway before the pursuit was even initiated, after that time, he almost hit several vehicles head-on," said Dodd.

Baumgardner recently pleaded guilty to killing someone in a crash.

The last update from the sheriff said the inmate is in the hospital, in unknown condition.
