They say he was on the bus, was able to get out of his shackles, overtook the driver, stabbed him in the hand. Not sure what other guard was doing

They say he is 46 year old Gonzalo Lopez who got free from his restraints and fled into a rural area halfway between Houston and Dallas.

It is not unusual for a prisoner to escape during transport. Its just that we usually don't hear about it as it doesn't get national publicity. It happens to be a time when it's easiest for him to do so, although it's kind of hard to understand how it happens.

I don't know if it's a sign of the times, but the Dannamora ones escaped maybe seven years ago. Again with help of a female employee. They were on the run for a long time. So I guess the sign of the times started in 2015. ( I just looked it up).

SOURCE: NY Post.....

A Texas inmate serving a life sentence for murder escaped custody Thursday after he stabbed the driver of a prisoner-transport bus then fled on foot, officials and reports said.

Gonzalo Lopez, 46, somehow got out of his shackles and stabbed a corrections worker driving the bus full of inmates in Leon County, sparking a struggle that caused the out-of-control vehicle to crash.

The driver was slashed in the hand with an unknown object, and Lopez managed to run off at around 1:20 p.m. even though there had reportedly been two armed correction officers on the bus.

Lopez had been onboard to go to a medical appointment, according to the TV station.

Multiple agencies were searching for the convicted killer Thursday night along Highway 7 near Interstate 45 outside of Centerville, about two hours north of Houston, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.

Lopez’s capital murder conviction came out of Hidalgo County, the department said. He also faced charges of attempted capital murder in Webb County, according to the department.

The fugitive is believed to still be wearing his white prison garb.

Gonzalo Lopez stabbed a prisoner-transport bus driver before escaping on foot.

CNN did a report on this. If the prisoner escaped (other than work release), it often was with the help of an older female employee.

Odd, ABC News tonight doesn't even mention the supposed other guard.

Unbelievable. That other story with the woman prison guard and the prisoner and she ended up dead. The poor thing probably never had a boyfriend so was probably going for a little happiness. However, the prisoner was a piece of trash.

@Katcat1 She was married and divorced but kept a close relationship with her ex, who passed away this year.

Speculating that she never had a boyfriend was rude - because we all know women cannot be happy without a man. *eyeroll*

@Spurt Yeah I'm not planning on being out on the run this week, either. LOL
