Two Georgia inmates suspected of killing two corrections officers in an escape from a prisoner transport bus this week have been captured.
Donnie Russell Rowe and Ricky Dubose were taken into custody after a car chase in Tennessee, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal tweeted.
Rowe and Dubose were on a state corrections bus with 31 other prisoners Tuesday morning when the two somehow got out of what should have been a locked, gated rear section of the bus, police said.
The men entered the driver’s compartment, overpowered and disarmed Officers Christopher Monica and Curtis Billue while the bus was on State Route 16 between Eatonton and Sparta, police said.
