Sounds like a gang war................
Or general tomfoolery.
Sounds like a melee
3 families just hit the public insurance jackpot. Probably the only good thing these mugs ever did for their families.
Is it an alleged altercation?
These things usually are.
Or general tomfoolery.

Can anyone define that?
Shanks, home made knifes, extortion, gang violence…. If it’s gangs killing another then it’s not over expect retaliation.
Most likely.
Could be a melee on the yard that forced tower officers to take a shot. I’ve seen that a few times. No deaths, though. The perps saw the futility of their actions after the tower officer, a Vietnam vet dropped a warning round just short of their feet.

Gang War...
Yuppers.
.
Someone Cleaning House.
Were the nearby prison guards told to ‘stand down’ and just watch it all unfold?
no release of names, Isnt Chauvin the cop from the St. George Fentanyl incident being held in AZ? noise has been growing about getting him pardoned....
My guess it three whites killed by blacks.
It is open season on white people in the USA
C.O.’s set em up right looks like.
I see it as more of a fracas than a melee. But, to each their own.
yes
Chauvin got shanked at that same prison
not sure if he has been transferred since then
