Lopez’s escape had already begun with an act of violence, when the prisoner, who had managed to free himself from the handcuffs, had stabbed the driver of the bus in which he was being transported. The vehicle then went off the road and the detainee managed to escape into the fields. For weeks, 300 police officers had been tramping the entire area looking for him, but to no avail. A $ 50,000 bounty had also been placed on him.

Meanwhile, in South Carolina, a man has been formally charged with murder after authorities said he “fired several random shots at various passing cars,” resulting in the death of an 8-year-old boy. CNN reports it, specifying that the shooting dates back to May 28 and took place in Florence, South Carolina. The child was in a car with his father, who was injured in the leg but is not in danger of life, and his mother, who was unharmed. It seems that the family, originally from New Hampshire, was in South Carolina on vacation.
