LIMA, Ohio (AP) — Authorities have apprehended the convicted killer of three Ohio students at a high school cafeteria who escaped from prison Thursday night. Nineteen-year-old T.J. Lane was captured early Friday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and police in Lima said. "We got him...... One more to go," Lima police tweeted around 2 a.m. They said Lane had been returned to prison.

Lane escaped along with two other inmates from a prison in Lima, about 80 miles south of Toledo, setting off a search by law enforcement officials using a helicopter and infrared detection equipment. One of the inmates was captured quickly. The other one, 45-year-old Clifford E. Opperud, apparently still is at large. Lane, then 18, pleaded guilty last year to shooting three students in February 2012 at Chardon High School, east of Cleveland. He said he didn’t know why he did. At his sentencing, he unbuttoned his dress shirt to reveal his T-shirt reading “killer”.
Three students at a cafeteria escaped from prison? Who writes this dreck?
JOHN SEEWER and MARK GILLESPIE (of Associated Press).
It took two of them to write this badly. *sigh*
But anyway, I’m glad they recaptured Lane, and hopefully the other escapees will soon be back where they belong.
They didn’t even get to shoot the cur. What a pity.
AP assigns two writers so that their stories are balanced with both points of view: socialist AND communist.
LOL!
Guess the AP reporters attended the same special needs high school as TJ..?
History of this jerk, TJ Lane.

Ohio School Shooter TJ Lane Laughs, Gives Finger at His Sentencing.
Given a second bite at the apple, and they whiffed.
Good one.
Paraphrasing the bartender in Bobs Country Bunker in Blues Brothers.
As I read it, the cafeteria escaped from prison. Apparently the murderer was caught in this escaped cafeteria. The article doesn’t say if the cafeteria was taken into custody or not. I would think that is a key piece of information.
I’ve always thought school cafeterias and prison had a lot in common.
If I was a relative of one of the dead kids and was present for this event they would be fitting *me* for a "killer" t-shirt.
So this miserable excuse for a human being is white, and at least on of the kids he killed was black. And yet this did not become a national scandal? I’m very surprised.
I’m glad they recaptured this guy, he looks like a complete psycho and good luck to all the many people who will have to guard him for DECADES as he serves out his life term.
He’a an excellent argument for overturning the SCOTUS ban on the execution of teenaged killers.
That’s how I read it as well!
Coffee spilt! May be time for me to update my tagline, if you don’t mind of course. LOL!
“That ain't no Hank Williams song!”
So how does a guy sentenced to 3 life terms with no chance of parole manage to escape? He managed to get 100 yards away.
Nice work, Einstein, and you got what, 6 hrs of freedom?
Was reminded of book Hellhound on his Trail about James Earl Ray. Before he shot ML King, he escaped from a prison by
wedging himself under some baked goods in a truck. I think he eventually briefly escaped from another prison after the King shooting too...
but how does a triple lifer get out...?
