Officials say the inmate was being transported when he assaulted and stabbed a corrections officer before getting off the bus.
Details are limited, as it's an active investigation, however, officials from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said Gonzalo Lopez, 46, was being transported when he assaulted a corrections officer and stabbed him.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office also said several agencies are working together to find Lopez, who was reportedly wearing an all-white TDC uniform. The injuries appear to be life-threatening, according to TDCJ officials, but the inmate remains at large. Currently, a perimeter has been set up around Highway 7 in Leon County and an active search is underway to find the prisoner.
Officials say Lopez is serving a life sentence for capital murder out of Hidalgo County as well as attempted murder out of Webb County. If he is spotted, authorities say immediately call 911 and do not approach him. No other information was made available, as of this writing, but we will continue to update this story as it develops.
