Hunt for inmates goes to Oklahoma

TERRAL, Okla. -- Police focused their search for four Texas jail escapees around this southern Oklahoma town after burglaries at several area homes aroused suspicion.

About 100 law officers went from house to house in Terral and nearby Grady on Friday as police helicopters searched from above and authorities set up roadblocks near the Texas border.

"We're going door to door. We're going to every residence, every barn," said Jefferson County Sheriff Stanley Barnes.

The inmates, who include two convicted killers and two others awaiting trial on murder charges, escaped Monday from the Montague County, Texas, jail about 30 miles from Jefferson County. They broke out by overpowering a guard with a homemade knife. Authorities say they drove off in the guard's sport utility vehicle.
