In a heartbreaking turn of events on Christmas morning, a corrections officer at the Ross Correctional Institution in Ohio was fatally assaulted by an inmate. The officer, identified as Andrew Lansing, succumbed to injuries sustained during the attack, marking a tragic loss for the community and the correctional facility. In response to this incident, Governor DeWine has ordered flags across the state to be lowered in honor of Officer Lansing. Authorities have confirmed the identity of the inmate involved, and discussions around prison safety and the need for reform are intensifying following this incident, the latest fatal attack on a prison employee in Ohio in nearly three decades.
