(MOBILE, Ala.) Local 15 News is learning more about exactly happened inside the sally port at Mobile Metro Jail on Friday, where a Mobile Police Officer was stabbed and killed.
"They freaked out. The inmates were going crazy in the holding cells. They were jumping up against the wall looking and screaming," said Kala Blair, who witnessed the attack.
Blair was leaving the jail when the Mobile Police cruiser pulled up, and the deadly situation unfolded.
"I saw the guy, the police officer get stabbed by this black man, and as soon as the police officer fell the guy jumped inside of his car, and then backed up, and then took off in it and ran through the docking station over there," Blair said.
Another witness, who calls herself "Mary", said she turned to look when she heard Wallace hit the sally port door with Green's patrol car.
"He was coming out of there so fast you couldn't see nothing but police car lights. The sheriff come down the street and went behind, and whoever was driving the police car that stole the police car he shot him, well, shooting at him, he was shooting at him," said "Mary."
"All the police reacted. They ended up taking all the inmates back. Most of them come out here after that, and try to do their best to stand out here and close off the road."
