Idaho police have issued a blue alert after an inmate reportedly escaped from custody early Wednesday during a hospital shooting that left three corrections officers wounded.

East Idaho News reported that officers had taken inmate Skylar Meade, 31, to Saint Alphonsus in Boise for medical treatment. As officers prepared to take him back to the Idaho Department of Corrections, an unknown assailant allegedly opened fire at the hospital — allowing Meade to flee.

The suspect reportedly shot two IDOC officers. The third officer was shot by a Boise police officer who mistook them for an armed suspect near the hospital’s entrance.

An IDOC officer shot by the unknown suspect is in critical but stable condition, while the other officer suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. KTVB reported that the officer who was shot by police had non-life-threatening injuries.

Meade and the suspect allegedly fled in a gray four-door sedan before Boise police arrived at the hospital.

Records indicated that Meade had been jailed since 2016 for aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer with a firearm enhancement. He also had prior convictions for possession of a controlled substance, grand theft, and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility.

KTVB reported that Meade received a 20-year sentence for shooting at shooting at a Twin Falls police sergeant during a high-speed chase. His release was scheduled for October 2036.

Anyone with information about Wednesday’s incident or Meade’s whereabouts is asked to call Ada County Dispatch at 208-377-6790.
