In the Capital of Sril Lanka, Colombo a prison riot broke out between the prisoners and the gaurds at the prison. 27 inmates were killed by the police and 5 prisoners were captured while trying to escape. However, they are still looking for other escaped prisoners. At least 42 more inmates were injured when they tried to over take an armory and temoprarily took control over part of the prison. The situation in the prison has returned to normal and they have obtained control again. The fight brook out because the officers were conducting raides and the prisoners started hurling stones at them. The real concern now are the prisoners that have escaped. The prison is not willing to admit or come out with the number of prisoners that are missing but a car load of prisoners were seen loading up and driving away during the shootings. So for the people who live in the capital city they should be on alert for these criminals and excercise caution. To me this is really scary because this is not the first time the prison has been over thrown and now there are criminals running around in a city full of people. This is definatley something to be concerned about and care about.
