DANVILLE — It was October 12, 1987. Federal corrections officer Robert Miller was helping escort an inmate out of Geisinger Medial Center near Danville when shots rang out. Miller was shot in the heart and killed.
Investigators said it was all a set-up. The inmate took off with two others. There was a chase and then all three were arrested.
More than 25 years later, people still remember that day.
“Everybody I think had the same reaction, I think, glad it wasn`t me and feel sorry for the people who got hurt. It`s a sary situation because you`re in a place where you think you area safe and all of a sudden,” said John Shuman of Danville.
