Sheriff says riot in Tennessee prison contained after gas shot into yard

A riot in a prison northeast of Nashville was contained, the sheriff says, and all prisoners returned to their cells after officers sprayed gas into the prison yard.

The Trousdale County Sheriff's Department says it got word just after 10 p.m. Sunday of the trouble at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Center.

"A multi-agency response followed a short time after the initial call," the department said. "The incident was contained inside the facility fences. The prison staff reported all prisoners were returned back to their cells."
