Police shot two of the killers who tunneled out of a Florida prison last week, killing one and wounding the other. Meanwhile, a third escapee was picked up in Miami. Six Cuban men, all serving life sentences for murder, used spoons to dig a tunnel eight feet under a wall and burrow their way out of the prison. One was captured immediately and, after a massive nine-day manhunt, law enforcement officials were tipped off by neighbors that the two men were hiding-out in woods outside of Miami, where 80 officers cornered the two armed fugitives. Police have widened a search for the remaining three escapees.
