UPDATE: Two dead after prison riot in SE Nebraska

Posted on May 11, 2015

Corrections officials now say they have secured the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution and are assessing the condition of the facility after two inmates were found dead.

In a news release, the Nebraska Department of Corrections said two inmates were discovered dead in a housing unit. Staff are said to be working to identify the inmates and notify their next of kin.

Until that happens, the identifies of the deceases are being withheld.

The Nebraska State Patrol is currently investigating the disturbance as well as the deaths. All staff are accounted for and there is no risk to the public.

Earlier, officials said two inmates had been transported to the hospital for treatment, after one was shot with live ammunition and another was hit by a rubber bullet. Those inmates were expected to be okay.

At approximately 2:30pm Sunday staff at the southeastern Nebraska prison facility noticed a large gathering of inmates in front of a housing unit. As staff reported to the area to break up the gathering two staff members were assaulted, and one inmate was injured. All of these persons have received medical treatment. Following this incident, there were several other incidents which took place in multiple housing units resulting in small fires, and damage to property.

The Crisis Negotiation Team, Correctional Emergency Response Team, and Special Operations Response Teams were sent to TSCI to work with staff to bring the situation under control.

The exterior of the institution remained secure during the entire incident.

With the end in sight, Mo. lawmakers brace for most contested issues of the session.

Posted on May 11, 2015

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s Republican-controlled Legislature already has powered through many GOP priorities as lawmakers approach a Friday deadline to pass bills.

Legislative leaders said that means the final days of session will be spent tackling what could be some of the most contested legislation of the session: so-called right to work and voter photo identification requirements.

Lawmakers have already passed a $26 billion budget plan, a proposed fix for the state’s student transfer law, limits on damage awards in medical malpractices cases and measures to curtail the state’s social programs. And a bill aimed at helping the state’s agricultural industry was signed by Democratic Governor Jay Nixon last month.

Fire inspectors say there was too much damage for them to determine what caused a fire early Thursday that destroyed a house on St Joseph’s Museum Hill. The cause will be listed officially as “undetermined.”

The blaze was reported at about 1:30 am Thursday at 1013 Angelique, and by the time the battalion chief arrived, the structure was fully engulfed in flames and was collapsing. By mid-morning Thursday, all that was left was a pile of bricks and rubble. (find more details here)

Nigh Johnson, a volunteer with the Landmark Commission for the City of St Joseph, had just taken a series of photographs as the commission considered placing the address on its “most endangered” list.

“The whole west side of the building had collapsed, there was a huge hole from the third floor all the way down to the basement, that had destroyed the side of the building,” Johnson says.

The commission plans an event next week to help raise awareness about historic structures that are in similar straits.
