Man scheduled to be executed soon in Missouri is fighting for his life

A man scheduled to be executed soon in Missouri is fighting for his life behind prison walls. 

42-year-old Michael Tisius has asked Governor Mike Parson for mercy. 

He is scheduled to be put to death on June 6 at the state prison in Bonne Terre. 

Tisius was convicted in the killings of two Randolph County jail workers in a plot to break out an inmate in 2000. 

After being admitted to the jail in Huntsville, Tisius pulled a gun he was hiding in his pants and shot to death Leon Egley and Jason Acton. 

The guards were both unarmed.
