Major Standoff With Police Results In Casualties

SMYRNA, Del. --Police breached a building at Delaware's largest prison early Thursday, ending a nearly 24-hour hostage standoff that left one corrections employee dead.

Inmates assumed control of the building at the James T. Vaughn Correction Center on Wednesday, taking four corrections department workers hostage. The inmates told a local newspaper that concerns about their treatment and the leadership of the United States had prompted their actions.
