Honduran Women's Prison Riot Claims 41 Lives, Gang Suspected.

Gang members in a women’s prison in Honduras slaughtered 46 other women inmates by spraying them with gunfire, hacking them with machetes and then locking survivors in their cells and dousing them with flammable liquid. The gang members were able to arm themselves with prohibited weapons, brush past guards and attack. The riot was the worst atrocity at a women’s prison in recent memory. The attackers “removed” guards at the facility around 8 a.m. Tuesday. The amount of weaponry found in the prison after the riot was impressive: 18 pistols, an assault rifle, two machine pistols and two grenades — all of which were smuggled into the prison.
