heard an interview this morning which said her gun was locked in a "lock box" where the deputies put their firearms when handling prisoners, but after he overpowered her, he of course got the key

And the full story, now that I've read it, confirms this

this case is just TOO bizarre. listening to the lady he held hostage she states that he said HE DID NOT shoot the female gaurd, right after he told her HE DID shoot the customs agent because he wouldn't do what he was told. i hate to say it, but there are TOO MANY coincidences here with the lapse in security. one female guard unhand-cuffing a prisoner who had knives on him the day before?!?!?! and not one, but BOTH the gaurd who were supposed to be watching the monitor away from their post!?!?! COME ONE PEOPLE, WAKE UP! there's alot more to this than what we're being told.
