Valhalla, NY — An inmate at Westchester Correctional Facility, who was convicted of kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon earlier this year, has escaped, with officials saying he may be armed and dangerous.
The New York Department of Corrections said today that Randall Bush, 47, broke out of the prison some time earlier this morning. Officials are unclear how Bush escaped. There is a gap of approximately 15 minutes on security footage throughout the facility. His cell was found empty with the door open and unlocked, but no one — neither correctional officers nor fellow inmates — could recall letting him out or seeing him leave. Because of Bush’s past association with mutants and mutant issues, officials are considering the possibility the escape was orchestrated by mutant allies.
Bush was convicted of taking several hostages at a Salem Center bank and shooting a security guard, all reportedly to get the attention of local police, who he claims were refusing to search for his runaway mutant teenage son. Only the security guard was injured, and Bush surrendered to the police without further violence. He pled guilty to all counts after his son returned home, apparently unharmed.
Anyone with information on Bush’s current whereabouts is urged to call their local police or the Department of Corrections.
