An ex-convict accused of shooting and wounding two unarmed officers inside a central California jail is behind bars, facing charges of attempted murder and possessing a handgun as a felon, authorities said. He's accused of shooting correctional Officers Juanita Davila and Toamalama Scanlan in the head and neck areas during a struggle Saturday, sheriff's spokesman Tony Botti said. Officers from the secure areas inside the jail ran to the lobby, where a lieutenant shot at Vang, who returned fire, Botti said. Officers tried to subdue Vang with a stun gun, but he would not give up and ran to the hallway of the jail records area, authorities said. When confronted by sheriff's deputies and a Fresno police officer, Vang dropped his weapon and told authorities he wanted to be arrested, Botti said.
