Correctional Officer Shot at Courthouse (Inmate escaped in TN)
KINGSTON, Tenn. (AP) - A state inmate escaped Tuesday after his wife shot and wounded a correctional officer accompanying the man to the courthouse, authorities said.

Authorities launched an extensive search for George and Jennifer Hyatte, Department of Correction spokeswoman Amanda Sluss said from her office in Nashville.

The officer, Wayne Morgan, was airlifted to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. His condition wasn't immediately available.

The incident began Tuesday morning after the inmate was sent to the Roane County Courthouse from Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex, where he is serving 35 years for aggravated robbery and aggravated assault, Sluss said.
