A federal prison representative said a correctional officer got involved and shot a prisoner.

Seven victims were flown by helicopter to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment. One of the victims suffered a gunshot wound, and the rest of them suffered stab wounds. Another inmate was transported to Leesburg Regional Medical Center.

Prison vans from the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Sumter County remained outside ORMC early Monday morning after a fight over the weekend.

Luckily, ORMC has a seperate area in the ER specifically for trauma, so I imagine it was a little easier to segregate the inmates from the rest of the ER population and to monitor them and whoever had access to them.
