ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Canadian judge on Friday ordered a former Black Panther-turned-librarian back to Chicago to face charges that he tried to kill a police officer in 1969.
Joseph Pannell was picked up in Toronto last year after being a fugitive since 1974 on charges of attempted murder and aggravated battery. He was accused of shooting Chicago police Officer Terrence Knox. Pannell, who was 55 when he was arrested last year, is also charged with jumping bail.
Knox, who survived the attack, called the decision Friday by Justice David Watt "the most significant ruling in the case."
"I never thought they would ever catch this guy," Knox said. "Hopefully, when and if he comes back, this will be the end of an ongoing saga."
The bullets that authorities say Pannell fired severed nerves and arteries in Knox's arm, the former police officer said. Three doctors helped save his arm, but he said he still has pain and scars."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "YAKIMA, Wash. -- Nine Yakima County Jail inmates used a rope made of bedsheets to escape Friday evening, authorities said.
Five were quickly recaptured before they could leave the jail grounds, said Will Paulakis, a Yakima County Corrections Department division chief.
The other four, including a 20-year-old man charged with second-degree murder, were being hunted by sheriff's officers, city police, the U.S. Marshal Service and corrections officers.
All were maximum security inmates, Paulakis said."
