BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — At least eight people were killed in a firefight at an Iraqi military base in northern Baghdad after a prisoner grabbed a guard’s weapon and opened fire on Wednesday morning.
A police official said four guards and four prisoners were among the dead. Three prisoners and two guards were also wounded.
The prisoner grabbed the guard’s weapon during morning exercises. No prisoners escaped during the resulting firefight with guards.
The al Addala base in Baghdad’s Khadimiya neighborhood houses suspects accused of major crimes, including terrorism. Iraqis and foreign nationals are being held at the base.
