THREE OFFICERS HURT IN TENNESSEE PRISON RIOT

by Bob Walsh

A riot at the Turney Center Industrial Complex, a state prison in Hickman County, TN., ended up with three officers injured and the facility on lockdown.

The riot kicked off on Sunday when twelve or more prisoners attacked three officers, taking one of them hostage. The situation ended three hours later when the Special Operations Unit deployed and regained control of the facility.

Two of the officers are in serious condition. The 1,600 prisoner facility is likely to remain on lockdown for some time.
