Inmate identified as white supremacist gang leader among 3 killed in Nevada prison brawl

Authorities say a white supremacist gang leader from Las Vegas was one of three inmates killed in a Nevada prison brawl that left at least nine other inmates injured at the state’s maximum-security lockup. Officials did not say what started the violence Tuesday morning at Ely State Prison, about 215 miles north of Las Vegas. Officials say no corrections officers were injured but they did not elaborate on the injuries to the inmates or what started the violence. The prison has almost 1,200 beds and houses the state’s death row for convicted killers.
