MSM aren’t spinning. They are ignoring. ‘Police took them into custody, when they were seen trying to steal a car’ is the tenor of the little reporting there is.

From this version...
Deputies said the inmates fired at them and wrecked the vehicle near mile marker 91 after the chase reached 100 mph.
They fled into the woods, ended up in a homeowners yard and tried to steal another vehicle.
But the homeowner noticed the men in his driveway and called a neighbor over to hold them at gunpoint until authorities arrived, Tennessee officials said.
The homeowner lived in a community of military veterans with many gun owners, Channel 2 reported.
The fugitives still had the guns of the slain Baldwin State Prison officers, identified by the Georgia Department of Corrections as Sgt. Curtis Billue and Sgt. Christopher Monica, officers said.
From the AJC story (no friend to the 2A):
“Tennessee officials credited two neighbors for holding Dubose and Rowe at gunpoint until they arrived. A homeowner, they said, noticed the men in his driveway and called a neighbor over to hold them at gunpoint.”
Of course, this important feature of the story is not highlighted.
