20 die in Mexican prison riot
TIJUANA, Mexico, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- At least two inmates were killed Monday in a prison riot in the Mexican border town of Tijuana, prison officials said.

Twenty others were wounded in the melee that reportedly started when prisoners rampaged following the death of another inmate at the hands of two guards, El Universal reported.

The 12-hour disturbance ended after police and Mexican soldiers helped guards wrest control of the facility.
