Accused Killer Accused Of Escape Attempt

(Vancouver, WA)  --  A man who's accused of killing three people and wounding a fourth in Woodland last July is facing new charges, after authorities said he tried to escape from the Clark County Jail.  Brent Luyster was already facing three counts of aggravated murder, and is now charged with possession of a weapon by a prisoner, malicious mischief, and attempted escape.  Officials say Luyster tried to escape Sunday night, but was foiled by a corrections officer making a security check.  Investigators say Luyster gunned down Joseph Lamar, Janell Knight, and Zach Thompson at a home in Woodland last July, and wounded Thompson's mother.
