...the suspects were believed to be in a wooded area within a mile of the jail Monday morning. The guard was not seriously injured in the attack, an official said. The Fannin County Sheriff's Office was joined by Department of Corrections K-9 units and a helicopter as they worked to corner the trio. Two of the suspects were in jail on charges of armed robbery while the third was in for motor vehicle theft.

Search On For 3 Jail Escapees - News Story - WSB Atlanta
The search is still on as far as I know. I heard a few helicopters today and the black-&-whites are all around town.
Added 8:00PM: haven't heard that they've been caught yet. A friend at the grocery store heard they broke out before dawn and had one of the deputy's guns. She also heard that all of the schools were on lock down today because they thought them to be in that vicinity. I noticed a lot more presence in town at 6PM.
