19 year old T.J. Lane, who was serving three life sentences for the 2012 murders of his fellow students at Chardon High School, has escaped the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, Ohio. At his sentencing, this smug and remorseless POS, T.J.Lane, unbuttoned a dress shirt to reveal a T-shirt scrawled with the word “killer.” He wore a similar shirt during the shootings. He then cursed profanities and made an obscene gesture as the judge gave him three life sentences.

According to reports, Lane broke out of prison with two other individuals around 7:40 p.m. Thursday. T.J. Lane escaped with Clifford E Opperud, 45, who was serving time for aggravated robbery and another man. According to the police department’s Facebook page, the men are wearing prison-blue uniforms. According to Lima police Sgt. Andy Green, one inmate was captured.

Authorities haven’t said how the 19-year-old broke out of the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, about 90 miles northwest of Columbus. He escaped, along with two other men, about 7:40 p.m. Thursday.

Lima police were searching the neighborhoods on the north end of the city, and asked residents to lock their doors and stay inside.

Lane was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for his attack at Chardon High School on February 27, 2012.
