One of two Pottawattie County Sheriff’s Deputy has died at a local hospital this (Monday) morning following a jail break and shooting at the Pott. County Jail. Multiple media outlets are reporting the Deputy was shot when an inmate who had just been sentenced to 55-years in jail, escaped the jail by crashing a jail van through garage door and leading authorities on a chase into Nebraska, where he was caught after the suspect earlier abandoned the van and car jacked another vehicle, which he then crashed.

Authorities have acknowledged that an inmate, Wesley Correa-Carmenaty, stole the transport van and crashed out of the Pottawattamie County Jail around 11 a.m. Monday. In addition to the two Deputies who were shot, a third person was said to have been transported to Creighton Medical Center. A report on their condition was not immediately available.

Authorities say the van was abandoned a few blocks away, where the inmate either met an accomplice or carjacked someone’s car. He then drove over the Missouri River into Omaha, Nebraska. It’s unclear whether the inmate was alone and still in the same vehicle when he crashed in Omaha to end the high-speed police chase.

Correa-Carmenaty was being held in the Pott. County Jail on charges of 1st Degree Murder, Attempted Murder, and 1st Degree Robbery.
