June 22 (UPI) -- Seven guards and one inmate were injured in a disturbance at a Florida prison, the Florida Department of Corrections said.
A brawl at the Gulf Correctional Institution annex, 25 miles east of Panama City, started in a dorm on Wednesday morning and spread to several more dorms before it was contained within a half-hour, Michelle Glady, FDOC spokeswoman, told the Miami Herald. She added that those injured were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries but did not identify them. The facility remained under lockdown for the rest of Wednesday.
