COUNCIL BLUFF, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say one of two Iowa sheriff's deputies who were shot by an inmate escaping from jail has died.
Council Bluffs police say the deputy, identified as 43-year-old Mark Burbridge, died at an Omaha hospital, hours after Monday's escape.
Police say the inmate shot the two deputies and used a stolen transport van to crash through a garage door at the Pottawattamie County Jail at around 11 a.m. He then abandoned the van and met an accomplice or stole a car, which he drove over the Missouri River into Omaha, Nebraska, where he was recaptured after crashing during a high-speed chase.
The inmate is identified as 23-year-old Wesley Williams Correa-Carmenaty
Authorities say the other wounded deputy and an injured civilian are in fair condition.
