Manhunt on for convict freed in deadly attack on prison convoy in France

French police have launched a massive manhunt after a deadly attack on a prison convoy freed an inmate and killed at least two guards Tuesday.

Hundreds of officers have been mobilized as the search continues for the escaped prisoner and those behind the attack.

The attack on the prison transport took place in the country’s northern Eure region, and seriously injured three other prison guards, France’s justice minister Eric Dupond-Moretti said on social media.
