Both suspects fled on foot and a third suspect crawled under another vehicle. Another officer, also at the parking lot, fired twice at one of the fleeing suspects but missed. Two of the boys were caught soon after along a bank leading from the parking lot. The third suspect was captured about two hours later. Bond for the youths were set at $100,000 each.
Sgt. Praises McCurry: Salem Police Sgt. H. C. Kingery, a 20-year veteran on the force said that McCurry was a very good friend of his and commented that McCurry was always extremely cautious and one who didn't take unnecessary risks or act before thinking.
