TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO (KTRK) -- Officials in Trinidad and Tobago are on the hunt for these two inmates after a brazen prison escape that involved explosives and a deadly shootout with police.

Authorities say Christopher Selby and Hassan Atwell are considered armed and dangerous.

They, along with a third inmate, broke out of Port of Spain jail Friday.

The third prisoner and a guard died from gunshot wounds in the attack.

An unidentified 43-year-old man is being held in connection with the escape, and is said to be cooperating in the investigation.
