An Indiana State Prison spokesman says Michael Lambert was pronounced dead at 12:29AM Central Time Friday following the lethal injection procedure. Lambert did not offer a final statement.
Lambert fatally shot officer Gregg Winters in 1990 while Winters was driving him in a cruiser to the Delaware County jail on a charge of public intoxication.

The officer died 11 days later.
