US police told family may be hiding 'Bonnie and Clyde'

Police in Tennessee are checking leads that family members may be hiding a convicted thief and his wife, who authorities said gunned down a guard to help her husband escape outside a court.

George Hyatte, in handcuffs and shackles, was on his way back to prison from a court appearance yesterday when Jennifer Hyatte drove up and fired at the two prison officers escorting her husband, Kingston Police Chief Jim Washam said.
