Sills said later they took over a random house and stole some food and some clothes.
At least one of the escapees shot and killed the officers, authorities said.
A collective reward of $75,000 is being offered for their capture, but that amount is expected to increase as the search continues. Sheriff's Association, Fraternal Order of Police, as well as the Putnam, Butts and Spalding County Sheriff Departments contributed to the growing reward.

"My biggest worry is they're going to kill somebody else", Sills said.
The bodies of the slain state corrections officers were returned to funeral homes Wednesday afternoon. "Two correction officers have been murdered - it's very frustrating".

"They're a frequent occurrence, the kind of things that every day these transports are taking place", he said.
They were last seen driving a "grass green", four-door 2004 Honda Civic with a Georgia license plate number RBJ-6601.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of the suspects, you're urged to call 911.
Sills says the green Honda still hasn't been recovered and it's unknown whether the two men are still traveling together.
It wasn't immediately clear why the prisoners were being transferred. Two guards with long guns watched as the prisoners, wearing cuffs on their ankles and wrists, shuffled toward the transport.
The men were later seen heading toward Spalding County, several jurisdictions over from Putnam County, according to the Spalding County Sheriff's Office.
The pair were two of 33 inmates being moved from Hancock State Prison yesterday morning.
