Authorities are searching for a white supremacist Idaho prison inmate and an accomplice who fled after the accomplice shot and wounded prison officers as they were transporting the inmate from a Boise hospital, according to police.
Three prison officers were shot and wounded during the attack, two allegedly by Umphenour and one by responding police.Meade was sentenced to 20 years in 2017 for shooting at a sheriff’s sergeant during a high-speed chase. The third injured corrections officer also sustained non-life-threatening injuries when a responding officer, incorrectly believing the gunman was still in the emergency room and seeing an armed person near the entrance, opened fire.
“The hate-fuelled gang engages in many types of criminal activity and casts shadows of intimidation, addiction, and violence over prison life,” prosecutors wrote. “To the best of our knowledge, Meade was in restraints while being escorted in and out of the hospital,” Kuzeta-Cerimagic said. She didn’t specify whether the restraints were handcuffs, shackles or another type of restraint but said transport procedures are dependent on the custody level of the person being transported.
