DENVER — One of two teen-agers who escaped from a juvenile detention center after someone threw a gun to them over a 16-foot fence was captured by police.
This time, the 17-year-old was thrown in jail because the juvenile center would not take him back.
The 17-year-old, suspected of attempted murder, and a 16-year-old, suspected of kidnaping, had broken out Tuesday. Police continued searching for the other youth, and officials said security at the juvenile center would be increased.
