An Ontario [Oregon] prison is in lock down after an inmate riot sent four people to the hospital.
The disturbance started around 9:40 a.m. Sunday in an outdoor recreation yard at the Snake River Correctional Institution. By the time it was over, 120 inmates were involved in the brawl.
Guards were forced to draw their weapons in an effort to put a stop to the growing violence.
One shot was fired from an observation tower, and it struck one of the inmates. That man, as well as three others who were injured in the fighting, were transported to a local hospital.
The inmates are now back in their cells and the prison is closed to visitors.
