California: Prisoners rebel against guards, four hospitalized

All of the state's prisons were locked down as a precaution Thursday after two inmates attacked four officers at the California Correctional Institution, a corrections official said.

Two sergeants and an officer were treated for lacerations, stab and puncture wounds, said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The three men were in stable condition at hospitals. A fourth officer, a woman, suffered unknown injuries and was also taken to a hospital.
