Fatal Mississippi prison riot quelled, authorities say

Authorities said early Monday they had put down a prison riot that claimed the life of a guard as it continued into the late evening Sunday.

A 23-year-old guard died of head injuries in the disturbance at the Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, Mississippi, according to county coroner James Lee.

It was not immediately clear what prompted the riot, which began about 2:40 p.m. (3:40 p.m. ET) Sunday, officials said.
