A convicted sex offender sentenced to life in prison pulled a gun on two guards during a prison transfer Monday and held them hostage temporarily before fleeing on foot in one of the guard's uniforms , authorities said .
At the time of the escape , the inmate was in a wheelchair , which he claimed he needed to help move him around , officials said .
Comeaux , 49 , took the officers' weapons and handcuffed them together in the back of the vehicle before fleeing on foot at around 9 a . m . , Lyons said .
He was serving a life sentence after being convicted in June 1998 of aggravated sexual assault out of Brazos County , located northwest of Houston .
Comeaux was given two extra life sentences after being convicted for stabbing his wife and another person in 1999 while she visited him in prison .
She survived the attack .
Comeaux also injured a man who was visiting another inmate at the time and tried to stop the attack .
The escape triggered a lockdown at Lee College and three campuses in the Goose Creek school district , in and around Baytown .
