We don't know which rule book you are using, but for example the runner rules in ASA are in Rule 8, Section 7, starting around sub section L. Other rule books have similar sections, usually titled "runner is out" or something similar.

Note: the out at 2nd could be because the tagged runner is now out and as a "retired" runner "deliberately" attempted to prevent a double play. The triple play would be a real stretch on the umpire's part.
