Inmates took over a cellblock at a maximum-security prison for more than two hours in Pendleton, Ind., leaving one inmate dead and four guards and 14 prisoners injured, authorities said. The incident began with a fight between inmates and led to a takeover of “G” cellblock, authorities said. One inmate died of stab wounds to his head, said Madison County Coroner John Noffze, who refused to identify the victim. Four guards and an inmate were treated at St. John’s Medical Center in nearby Anderson, a hospital spokeswoman said.
