A D.C. jail inmate charged in a wild shootout with District police was recaptured Thursday evening after escaping custody earlier in the day, authorities said.

At about 8:50 a.m., jail guards were taking 28-year-old Terrence Moore to Greater Southeast Community Hospital for medical treatment. At the hospital, he jumped from the vehicle and ran from the scene, jail officials said. D.C. police apprehended him without incident at around 7 p.m. near Wheeler Road and 10th Place, SE.
