Dramatic CCTV Gunmen Colombian hospital in daring prisoner rescue

Metanews: Footage captured a group of masked men storming a hospital in Bogota, Colombia, on Wednesday. It was part of a daring escape for a prisoner who was being treated by medics inside. In a scene that resembled a Hollywood movie, security cameras showed gunmen entering the hospital and shooting inside its reception area, as frightened patients cowered for cover. According to local media, the assailants escaped with Alexander Urrego, the prisoner who was getting a check-up. Urrego was reportedly captured in 2011 and convicted for his involvement in a gang killing. The gunmen fired on the building as they fled, and hospital staff and one security guard were injured in the incident. A Colombian daily newspaper reported that four men have been since been arrested by police in connection with the escape. Authorities have put up a reward of around $15,000 for information leading to the prisoner's re-capture.
