Three people were hospitalized, one in critical condition, after emergency crews responded Tuesday to a county jail near Los Angeles, authorities said.
Initial reports were that about 20 people were injured in some kind of mass casualty incident at Pitchess Detention Center, according to Henry Narvaez, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Fire department medics evaluated the patients and ambulances transported three of them to a hospital outside the lockup, Narvaez said. One person was critical and the two others had moderate injuries, he said.
