A fight between two inmates Tuesday morning at a Northern Nevada prison spurred a guard-involved shooting that left three inmates wounded, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.

The fight broke out about 8 a.m. Tuesday in the general population yard at Lovelock Correctional Center, the department of corrections wrote in a release Tuesday evening. Two inmates were fighting and ignored guards' repeated demands to stop fighting.
