Armed fugitive family held

Three fugitive siblings suspected of trying to kill a Florida policeman, and an armed bank raid in Georgia, were caught when their getaway car crashed during a 100mph chase in Colorado.

Ryan Dougherty, 21, and Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, were arrested and taken to hospital with their sister, Lee Grace, 29, who was shot in the leg as she tried to flee. Police found two AK47 rifles and a pistol at the crash site.

The Doughertys, who have criminal records, went on the run nine days ago after a policeman was shot at but escaped injury as he tried to stop a speeding car in Florida, their home state.
