 A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections says 19-year-old T.J. Lane was captured at 1:20 a.m. Friday by Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers. 
 
 Lane and two other inmates escaped from a state prison in Lima about 80 miles south of Toledo at 7:40 p.m. Thursday. One inmate was quickly captured. The third inmate, 45-year-old Clifford Opperud, remains at large. 
 
 Spokeswoman Joellen Smith said Lane has been returned to Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution and that administrative and criminal investigations have begun. Smith would not provide details about how the inmates escaped. 
 
 Lane pleaded guilty last year to shooting three students in February 2012 at Chardon High School, east of Cleveland. ||||| (CNN) -- T.J. Lane, a remorseless killer who escaped from an Ohio prison where he was serving three life sentences for a school shooting, has been captured. 
 
 For six long hours, police scoured neighborhoods on the north end of Lima, Ohio, asking residents to lock their doors and stay inside. 
 
 They brought in extra officers and provided patrols to the families of Lane's victims. 
 
 In the end, he was found 100 yards away outside a church, the prison warden said. He didn't say anything nor put up a fight, authorities said. 
 
 Lane was serving consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for his attack at Chardon High School on February 27, 2012. 
 
 He walked in to the school cafeteria with a .22-caliber gun and randomly started shooting. He fired 10 rounds, killing three students. 
 
 The 19-year-old scaled a fence at the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, about 90 miles northwest of Columbus, Warden Kevin Jones said. 
 
 "He wasn't in the maximum security facility. That is something we have to sit down and take a look at." 
 
 Lane escaped, along with two other men, about 7:40 p.m. Thursday. 
 
 He was back in custody about shortly after 1 a.m. Friday. 
 
 "You never plan on someone escaping and certainly someone of that notoriety, you would think that they would take special precautions to prevent this," Ian Friedman, who represented him at his trial, said late Thursday. 
 
 "This was a huge case here in Ohio. So, everyone in Ohio is shocked right now." 
 
 Friends, family remember Ohio school shooting victims 
 
 Prison infractions 
 
 The Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution houses about 1,600 inmates guarded by 257 security personnel. 
 
 A Correctional Institution Inspection Committee report in April said the facility was over capacity by 217 inmates. In addition, the number of inmate assaults on staff increased by 60.7% last year compared with 2012. No escapes were mentioned in the report. 
 
 In the 18 months he's been there, Lane was disciplined seven times, according to The Plain Dealer newspaper. 
 
 The infractions ranged from urinating on a wall to giving himself a tattoo, the paper said. 
 
 Lane escaped with Clifford E. Opperud, 45, who was serving time for aggravated robbery, and another man. All three have been captured. 
 
 Chardon is about 190 miles away from Lima. 
 
 "We're upset this happened," said Ron Parmetor, whose nephew Daniel Parmetor, 16, was one of Lane's victims. 
 
 Parmetor says he wants answers; how could Lane just escape? 
 
 The other two victims were: Demetrius Hewlin, 16; and Russell King Jr., 17. 
 
 Chardon schools will be closed Friday, but counselors and other support services will be provided, the school district superintendent said. 
 
 Community shaken 
 
 Chardon is a community of 5,100 people, some 30 miles east of Cleveland. 
 
 It was shaken by the shooting at the high school, and further traumatized by Lane's behavior in court. 
 
 Lane pleaded guilty last last year to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and weapons-related charges. But he never offered an explanation. 
 
 He was sentenced to consecutive sentences of life without parole and additional sentences totaling 37 years. 
 
 At the sentencing hearing, Lane unbuttoned his blue dress shirt to reveal a white T-shirt on which he had scrawled the word "KILLER" across the front. He had on a similar shirt during his shooting rampage. 
 
 Before the sentencing, he addressed the victims' families using profane imagery and ending with the expletive,"F--- all of you." 
 
 He then held up his middle finger. 
 
 "For everyone in that courtroom -- the victims, their families, the prosecutors, defense -- everyone in that courtroom was just absolutely taken aback," said Friedman, who hasn't talked to Lane in about a year. "There was no way to fully comprehend what happened in the courtroom that afternoon." 
 
 T.J. Lane tightlipped about motive, escape 
 
 Ohio school shooter shows contempt, no remorse during sentencing 
 
 CNN's Cristy Lenz, Tina Burnside and Kevin Conlon contributed to this report. ||||| LIMA, Ohio — Convicted school shooter T.J. Lane's escape from the Allen Correctional Institution Thursday night followed 18 months in prison in which he was disciplined seven times. 
 
 In August, prison officials cited Lane, 19, for urinating on a wall in the Allen Correctional Institution. Prison officials took away Lane's recreation privileges for seven days, a prison official told The Plain Dealer earlier this week. 
 
 It was the latest incident in which Lane displayed his struggles at adjusting to prison life. For months, he had been in protective custody, but it is unclear whether he was there at the time of his escape. 
 
 Lane was serving three consecutive life sentences for killing three students and wounding three others at Chardon High School on Feb. 27, 2012. He pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. 
 
 In July 2013, he was ordered to spend 10 days in segregation on a prison charge of "self-mutilating, including tattoo," or giving himself a tattoo. A month later, he refused to carry out a work-related or institutional assignment and was given a verbal reprimand. 
 
 In October 2013, he was charged with doing the same thing, losing 10 days of recreation time, JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, said Monday. 
 
 Lane also faced punishments for at least three similar offenses this year. The latest came Aug. 28, when Lane was punished for urinating on the prison wall, The Plain Dealer learned. 
 
 He originally was taken to the Lorain Correctional Institution within days of his sentencing in Geauga County Common Pleas Court in March. He was later transferred to the Corrections Reception Center near Columbus and later to the Lebanon Correctional Institution. 
 
 He is one of more than 400 inmates serving life in prison without parole, according to state prison records. And as one of the youngest, Lane could cost state taxpayers about $1.4 million if he lives to the age of 80, according to estimates based on the current annual cost of $22,836 per inmate. 
 
 Lane admitted that he killed students Demetrius Hewlin, 16; Russell King Jr. 17; and Daniel Parmertor, 16, on Feb. 27 in the school's cafeteria. Injured in the shooting were students Joy Rickers, Nick Walczak and Nate Mueller. 
 
 At his sentencing in March 2013, Lane took off a blue dress shirt and revealed a T-shirt with the word "Killer'' on it. Lane wore a similar shirt when he opened fire in the school cafeteria.
– A teenager serving life for killing three students and wounding two others in a high school shooting in 2012 has been recaptured after breaking out of an Ohio prison. Officials say TJ Lane, 19, was captured by Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers around 1:20am, hiding by a church just 300 feet away from the prison, reports the AP. Lane escaped from the Allen Correctional Institution with two other inmates, both of whom have also been captured. Lane, who opened fire in the cafeteria of Chardon High School, wore a T-shirt with the word "Killer" and taunted his victims' families at his sentencing last year. After his escape, police said they would send extra patrols to guard the families of victims, CNN reports. "This was a huge case here in Ohio. So everyone in Ohio is shocked right now," Lane's attorney said after the escape. Lane, who was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, has been disciplined seven times during his 18 months in prison, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Last month, he lost privileges for a week after urinating on a wall, and last year he was punished twice for prison charges of "self-mutilating, including tattoo."
