COLEMAN - Eight male inmates were taken to a hospital after a "large-scale fight" at a federal prison northwest of Orlando.
The fight broke out in the recreation yard serving a high-security prison building at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, said Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. No staff workers were seriously injured, Billingsley said.
One of the inmates was shot, according to Rita Teel, another spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She would not say whether a guard shot him.
The prison has four units that house low-, medium- and high-security inmates.
