A High School Shooter Serving A Life Sentence Has Escaped From Prison In Ohio
Lima Police
TJ Lane reportedly escaped from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution with a fellow 45-year-old prisoner.
The two prisoners escaped with a third prisoner who has since been captured.
Lane was convicted of killing three people and wounding three others at Chardon High School in Ohio, where he was a student.
Police in the area are searching for the two men, who are reportedly wearing blue prison uniforms.
Lima police posted this description of the escapees on their Facebook page:
Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution is Ohio's main psychiatric prison, as noted by Columbus Dispatch reporter Alan Johnson. The prison has 1,645 inmates and did not have any escapes last year.
Lane is dangerous and possibly mentally unstable. During his sentencing, he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a white T-shirt that had the word "KILLER" scrawled across it, and he made a vulgar statement to the victims' families in court.
Even his attorney can't vouch for him:
#TJLane I've been asked whether he is a danger. Answer is no one ever wants to return to prison for a life sentence. Plus, case facts speak.

Lane has been disciplined seven times during his 18 months in prison, according to The Plain Dealer in Cleveland. His offenses include urinating on a wall, giving himself a tattoo, refusing to carry out a work-related or institutional assignment, and other similar offenses.
The other prisoner who escaped, Clifford Opperud, was serving a sentence for aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, and kidnapping.
Lane and the two other inmates are thought to have escaped around 8 p.m., according to the Dispatch.
