Meanwhile, a manhunt continued in the state of Washington for six inmates who escaped on Monday evening from the Yakima County Jail. The at-large escapees were among 14 who fled the jail in downtown Yakima after using a table to break down an exit door and then scaling a fence, according to Yakima County Sheriff Robert Udell.

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering rewards of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrests of the escaped Yakima jail inmates.
