Tibble chased Quinn on his motorbike and, while attempting to stop him, was fatally shot twice in the chest.[3] ExtraditionQuinn escaped to Dublin in the aftermath of the shooting and served a short prison sentence after his arrest for assaulting a police officer there. After his release in 1978 he returned to his hometown of San Francisco but was arrested in 1981 and later extradited to England in February 1988 where he was convicted of murder and jailed for life with a recommended minimum term of 35 years. Quinn served 11 years before he was released in April 1999, aged 51, along with the rest of the Balcombe Street gang, under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.[4] While with the IRA, Quinn adopted an Irish accent[5] and was tagged with the nickname "Yankee Joe" because of his American origins.[6] References1. ^[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0DE4DC1F3CF932A15753C1A960948260&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fOrganizations%2fI%2fIrish%20Republican%20Army%20 New York Times- American Is Extradited To Britain in Killing] {{PIRA}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Quinn, Liam}}{{Ireland-paramilitary-bio-stub}}2. ^Balcombe Street gang moved to Portlaoise {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929104342/http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1998/05/06/ihead.htm |date=2007-09-29 }} 3. ^{{cite news|title=BBC News On This Day - 1975: PC murder linked to IRA bomb factory|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/27/newsid_2515000/2515789.stm|date=1975-02-27|accessdate=2010-01-05}} 4. ^A Chronology of the Conflict - 1988 5. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/friends-and-equals-dont-need-to-ask-for-apologies-2654118.html | work=Irish Independent | title=Friends and equals don't need to ask for apologies | date=2011-05-22}} 6. ^The Road To Balcombe Street, Steven Moysey, Haworth (2007), {{ISBN|0-7890-2913-8}} 15 : 1949 births|American people convicted of murdering police officers|American people imprisoned abroad|American people of Irish descent|Irish people convicted of murdering police officers|Irish prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment|Irish republicans|Living people|People convicted of murder by England and Wales|People extradited from the United States|People extradited to the United Kingdom|People from San Francisco|Prisoners and detainees of the Republic of Ireland|Prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment by England and Wales|Provisional Irish Republican Army members |
