Authorities expressed confidence Sunday about the prospect of capturing seven of 10 escaped New Orleans inmates who remain at large, possibly before the end of the night.

Federal, state and local authorities have developed usable information about all seven and have received multiple tips on their whereabouts, said the Louisiana State Police superintendent, Col. Robert Hodges.

"We’re confident at this time that we have actual intelligence on all of those fugitives," he said at a news conference early Sunday evening. "We will track all seven and bring them to justice."

Three who participated in the escape early Friday, which Gov. Jeff Landry described as one of the largest in state history, were captured by the end of the day, authorities said, crediting tips from the public.

Hodges said agents, officers, marshals, deputies, aircraft and drones from the FBI; the U.S. Marshals Service; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; state police; New Orleans police; and the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office are on the case.
