GREENSVILLE COUNTY, Va. -- Two Greensville Correctional Center officers have been released from the hospital after they were stabbed by an inmate on Tuesday, sources told CBS 6 investigative reporter Laura French. Those sources told French the inmate allegedly involved in the most recent stabbing is the same person suspected in the April slaying of K9 officer Rivan.
The Belgian Malinois was killed in the line of duty "heroically protecting" his assigned Correction Officer, staff, and other inmates at Sussex I State Prison, according to the Virginia Department of Corrections.
According to French's sources, one of the victims in the most recent stabbing was an officer-in-training.
The sources added that typically an officer-in-training would not permitted to move inmates.
The VDOC says this is an active investigation.
