Holy smokes!
CARROLL, New York (AP) -- SWAT teams, police helicopters and state troopers converged on this small town near the Pennsylvania state line Friday after authorities said they may have spotted a fugitive sought in one of New York's largest manhunts.
Ralph "Buck" Phillips, who broke out of an Erie County jail in April, is suspected of killing a state trooper and wounding two others. He is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, the federal marshals' 15 Most Wanted list and was to be featured on "America's Most Wanted."
Marge Bortz, the owner of Cable Hollow Golf Course in Warren County, Pennsylvania, said police told her Phillips is in the woods around the golf course and has fired shots. Police did not immediately confirm the gunfire. (Watch to see the half-way house where Philips lived and how he escaped -- 2:26)
Bortz said she was told no one was hurt. Police, including a helicopter that landed on the golf course, swooped in about 9:30 a.m. and used a loud speaker to clear the course of about 100 golfers, Bortz said.
