Ten inmates were discovered missing during a routine head count, the sheriff's office said. Three have since been found.

At least a dozen law enforcement agencies are searching Saturday for seven of the 10 men who broke out of a New Orleans jail by fleeing through a hole behind a toilet and scaling a wall. A law enforcement photograph obtained by The Associated Press shows the opening through which the men escaped.

The inmates, including several locked up on murder raps, broke out of the Orleans Parish Jail early Friday in an audacious overnight escape.
