One of Four Georgia Fugitives Shot, Captured



One of four inmates who escaped from a south Georgia prison over the weekend was wounded during a burglary attempt at a rural residence near Columbiana and was captured.



Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry said 30-year-old Tracy O. Mullins, who was serving at least three years for firearms possession and other offenses, is in the intensive care unit at UAB Hospital in Birmingham after being shot yesterday morning shortly after 7 a-m.



Curry said three others who were with Mullins escaped. He said the home owner, whose name was withheld, fired several shots from a handgun, striking one of the fugitives.



The men escaped from medium-security Montgomery State Prison on Saturday in Mount Vernon by cutting a hole through a security fence.
