An inmate escaped from a hospital after an accomplice fired upon the officers transporting him, in what officials called a 'brazen' ambush.
Wednesday, March 20, 2024 7:00PMfrom an Idaho hospital Wednesday with an accomplice who opened fire on the correction officers transporting him, striking two, in a "brazen" attack, authorities said.
One officer is in critical but stable condition, and the second has serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The hospital was temporarily locked down as Boise officers searched the area for the shooting suspect, police said. Investigators ultimately determined that Meade and his accomplice fled in a gray four-door sedan, possibly a Honda Civic, just prior to Boise officers arriving, police said.
Meade, 31, has most recently been serving time at a maximum security prison in Kuna for aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer with a firearm enhancement, according to police and Idaho Department of Correction records. His sentence was through October 2036, with parole eligibility starting in October 2026, the correction records show.
