When Egley approached, Tisius shot him, too. Both officers were unarmed. Tisius discovered secrets at the dispatch location and attempted to open Vance’s cell, however he could not. When Egley got Bulington’s leg, Tisius shot him numerous more times. Tisius and Bulington ran away, however their automobile broke down later on that day in Kansas. They were apprehended in Wathena, Kansas, about 130 miles (210km) west of Huntsville. Tisius admitted to the killings of Acton and Egley. Bulington and Vance are serving life sentences on murder convictions. Defense lawyer have actually argued that the killings were not premeditated.
