TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Police said they captured a person who shot three staff members Wednesday inside a federal detention center in the state capital. The conditions of the victims were not immediately known.
Tallahassee police spokesman John Newland said all three were taken to a hospital.
"The community is safe. The institution is in lockdown status," federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Carla Wilson said.
The detention center houses mostly men and is part of the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution. A low security prison for female inmates is next to the detention center. Together the men's and women's units total 1,445 inmates.
Newland said the FBI was leading the investigation. Neither he nor Wilson had further details.
