Search for Suspected Killers Scaled Back

Authorities scaled back a massive manhunt for two suspected killers believed to be in the red rock canyons of the Four Corners region--a historic hide-out for fugitives. Searchers conceded that the two men may never have been in the Bluff area, and they planned to center the search again in Cortez, Colo. Cortez is where the manhunt began May 29 after three men riddled a police car with automatic weapon fire, killing a police officer who pulled them over for driving a stolen water truck. The three fired off as many as 500 rounds at pursuing officers, wounding two, before fleeing on foot into the desert. One of the fugitives was later found dead.
