Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
ALBANY, Ore., Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Three guards were wounded when eight teenage girls allegedly staged a riot at a youth detention facility in Albany, the Oregon Youth Authority said.
The guards were wounded Sunday in an escape attempt at the Oak Creek Correctional Facility, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Monday.
The eight girls, ranging in age from 13 to 17, allegedly faked a fight in a dorm holding 19 girls and then ambushed arriving guards with homemade weapons, said Perrin Damon, a youth authority spokeswoman.
"They had weapons fashioned from everyday things," Damon said.
The girls made it as far as a recreation yard but were blocked by a pair of high fences and assisting officers from Albany and the Linn County Sheriff's Office. "They never breached the perimeter," Damon said.
The security guards were treated at a local hospital and released. One of the guards required 32 stitches to his head, said Damon.
