Two escapees killed a guard and shortly thereafter took hostage Madeline Loosier, a member of the Houston PTG chapter.  It is what some are calling a "miracle" that she is safe and unharmed, except for a few bruises.  There was gunfire about her and her truck as the prisoners evidently left the truck to try to run for it.  Madeline is one of the "up and coming" people, now tuning nearly full time for <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sam</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Houston</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>, and is virtually the only tuner for the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Huntsville</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">TX</st1:State></st1:place> area.      She might appreciate some notes……  her "stuff" is in the PTG directory.<o:p></o:p> les <st1:City w:st="on">bartlett</st1:City> <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">houston</st1:place></st1:City> <o:p></o:p></DIV> No virus found in this incoming message.
