Officials say a riot broke out at Ware State Prison near Waycross, where two guards were stabbed.

Officials said around 2:15 a.m. the situation appeared to be under control. “The incident is under control and the facility is currently on lockdown,” The Georgia Department of Corrections said in a statement. “Two staff members received minor, non life-threatening injuries and there are no reported inmate injuries at this time.”

Further information from officials wasn’t immediately available, but multiple Facebook Live videos went out from men purporting to be inmates.

One video, in which the men filmed say they are at Ware State Prison, showed one inmate covered in blood. Two inmates helped him clean what appeared to be a wound and carried him out of his cell. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution couldn’t immediately confirm the authenticity of the videos.
