Two Teen Inmates Escape in Georgia After Assaulting Deputy

A search is underway for two teenage inmates who escaped custody in Georgia by assaulting a deputy and stealing his gun.

Two teenage inmates, identified as Corinthian Newton, 15, and Brandon Davis, 14, escaped custody in Georgia after assaulting a deputy.
The inmates attacked Deputy Milo Perry, rendering him unconscious by hitting him with his own .45-caliber handgun and fired shots in his direction without hitting him.
The escape occurred as the teens were being transported back to a juvenile detention center; they were still wearing their detention center jumpsuits at the time of their escape.
Authorities in Georgia have warned residents to lock their doors and report any suspicious individuals, as the escaped inmates are considered 'armed and dangerous'.
The incident comes days after a separate escape in Idaho, where a gunman and convict escaped after ambushing corrections officers, leading to a manhunt.
