The man in Pennsylvania accused of shooting a police officer three times while handcuffed before fleeing from authorities remains on the lam Monday as new footage from the shootout was released.
Police in Allegheny County are searching for Koby Lee Francis, 22, who allegedly shot an officer outside the McKeesport police station on Sunday.
