FRAIJANES, Guatemala — Guatemalan authorities say at least 10 people have been wounded in a shooting inside a prison.
Cecilio Chacaj of the municipal firefighters says that 10 prisoners were transported to medical facilities with bullet wounds.
The shooting occurred Tuesday morning inside the Pavon Rehabilitation Model Farm in the municipality of Fraijanes, about 10 miles (17 kilometres) east of Guatemala City.
Chacaj says it’s unclear if there are any deaths because authorities haven’t yet been able to enter the prison. Prison authorities haven’t commented on the situation.
