SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (AP/CLARKSVILLENOW) — Authorities say two escaped inmates sought in the killings of two guards on a Georgia prison bus were captured Thursday after a chase and being held at gunpoint by a rural Tennessee homeowner whose vehicle they were trying to steal.

Donnie Rowe and Ricky Dubose were apprehended in the rural community of Christiana, Tennessee, ending a multi-state manhunt that began Tuesday morning.

The two men had been on the run since early Tuesday, when they are accused of having killed Sgt. Christopher Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue.

Authorities say the two inmates overpowered and disarmed the guards on a bus about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday as 33 inmates were being driven between prisons.

Authorities in Tennessee have released audio of a 911 call from a man whose home was invaded by two escaped inmates from Georgia. It was this call that put law enforcement hot on their trail before their arrest without bloodshed Thursday night.

The man tells the dispatcher “we’ve had an armed home invasion — it’s the two people from Georgia, escapees.”

He’s obviously emotional as he describes the Jeep the fugitives stole and pleads with her to send police as soon as possible.

He says: “We were all tied up, we just got loose.”

The dispatcher asks if they’ve been hurt or need an ambulance, and the man says no, “just get the police out here as quick as you can.”

His wife can be heard sobbing as he tries to reassure her, saying: “It’s all right. You’ve survived. You’ve survived. You did it. You did a good job. Come here and let me hold you.”
