In a tragic incident last week at the Arizona State Prison Complex Tucson, three inmates were killed after an altercation, with inmate Ricky Wassenaar suspected of being responsible for their deaths. Wassenaar is serving 16 life sentences for a 2004 prison standoff where he held two guards hostage for 15 days, using makeshift knives. The three inmates who lost their lives were identified as Saul Alvarez, Thorne Harnage, and Donald Lashley, all serving sentences for serious crimes.
The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry is conducting an investigation into the incident, with preliminary reports suggesting that Wassenaar intended to harm the victims. The causes of death have not been released, but there is no ongoing threat at the prison complex. Wassenaar is already serving multiple life sentences, and further charges may be brought based on the outcome of the investigation. Updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
