VICKSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA — An escaped inmate met his end after breaking into a family’s home and being shot by the homeowners after a tense hostage situation.

Warren County Jail officials confirmed the identity of the deceased inmate, Rafael McCloud, 34, after Vicksburg Police removed his body from the property. The husband and wife and their 5-year-old son were moved into a bathroom while the inmate was attempting to work out a hostage negotiation. Police reports indicate that the wife was the first to be able to access a gun and fire it at the fugitive. The husband then followed up and assisted his wife by shooting the bad guy again. McCloud was declared dead with multiple gunshot wounds including one to the head.

“We are incredibly relieved this family was not seriously injured and they were able to protect themselves this morning,” Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said. “It’s been a long week for this community and we appreciate the cooperation of the public as we have pursued this community.”

The husband was taken to a nearby medical center for treatment for a non-life-threatening stab wound and the wife reportedly suffered minor damage after being hit in the head.
