A retired man shot and killed an escaped prisoner, Rodney Long, who was suspected of shooting an Iowa sheriff while law enforcement searched for him.
Long broke into a retired couple’s home and was armed with a handgun. After about four hours, homeowner Jerome Mauderly, 71, shot Long with a shotgun in the kitchen.
Mauderly’s wife Carolyn, 66, called 911 and said that her husband had shot an intruder.
Long was in prison for burglary when he climbed a fence and escaped from the prison. He was scheduled for release in September 2014.
