An inmate considered dangerous managed to escape from custody at a hospital in Idaho during the early hours of Wednesday following a violent incident involving officers. The escape occurred as Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC) officers were preparing to return Skylar Meade, the inmate, to jail after he had received medical treatment at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, according to the Boise Police Department.
During the incident, an unidentified suspect ambushed the officers and opened fire, injuring two of them. One officer is currently in critical but stable condition, while the other officer sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. A third IDOC officer was also injured when Boise police intervened and fired at an armed individual near the hospital entrance. Fortunately, the third officer's injuries were not severe.
