Over 100 killed in bloody Ecuador prison massacre
A prison massacre that erupted Tuesday in Ecuador has killed 116 people and wounded about 80, Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso said Wednesday. The death toll represents a significant uptick from earlier estimates after Tuesday's bloody clashes at the Litoral Penitentiary, located on the outskirts of the coastal city of Guayaquil. In a speech televised Wednesday, Lasso indicated the prison was not yet entirely secured, and urged inmates' relatives and families to stay away from the area.
