DRAMA AT HIGH DESERT PRISON

by Bob Walsh

High Desert State Prison is the newer of two good-size prisons located at Susanville, CA.  There are one or two interesting pieces of drama going on up there that may, or may not, be connected.

There was a shooting inside the city of Susanville on Sunday involving two non-peace officer employees of the prison.  The shootee survived the incident.  It is unclear whether or not the shooter was arrested.

On Monday a person or persons unknown made a bomb threat to the prison.  I am unsure why.  It is not like they can just evacuate the prison.  Also it would not be easy (though not impossible) to smuggle a decent size bomb into the place.   

It is unclear whether or not the two incidents are related.  No ID info is available at the moment on the two employees involved in the shooting.
