Backed Down On Bomb Threat Amid Texas Prison Siege
Convict Fred Gomez Carrasco offered to free nine of his 13 hostages in exchange for freedom after retreating from a bomb threat. He removed a device from the library doorway at the state penitentiary as two other inmates held hostages since last Wednesday. Prison officials weighed the new proposal relayed by a hostage’s daughter, aiming to use all 13 as a shield, with seven inside the escape vehicle and the rest moved to safety.
