Three Idaho corrections officers were shot as a suspect staged a brazen attack to break a prison inmate out of a Boise hospital overnight
This photo provided by Boise Police Dept. shows surveillance video of a vehicle near the scene of a shooting at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, Wednesday, March 20 2024 in Boise, Idaho. Three correctional officers were shot, two by a suspect and one by responding police, during a brazen overnight attack to break Skylar Mead, a prison inmate, out of an Idaho hospital, authorities said Wednesday. .
Meade, 31, and the suspect fled in a gray four-door sedan, possibly a Honda Civic, with Idaho plates. Neither was in police custody. One officer shot by the suspect was in critical but stable condition, police said, while the second wounded officer had serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The third injured corrections officer also sustained non-life-threatening injuries when a responding officer — incorrectly believing the shooter was still in the emergency room and seeing an armed person near the entrance — opened fire.
The attack follows a wave of gun violence at hospitals and medical centers, which have struggled to adapt to the threats.
