An inmate at a federal prison in Arizona Friday stabbed and seriously injured Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in 2021 of murdering George Floyd in 2020.
As first reported by the Associated Press, who spoke with a person familiar with the matter, the stabbing occurred at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, described as “a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages.” The AP’s source was not allowed to publicly comment and the Bureau of Prisons confirmed the incident but would not name the inmate. They did mention performing “life-saving measures” on the incarcerated person, who was “taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.”
