A shooting occurred early Saturday morning near the prison facility in Texas where Ghislaine Maxwell is being held, sources familiar with the situation told NBC News. Officers from The Federal Bureau of Prisons heard the gunshots outside of Federal Prison Camp Bryan before responding and engaging with the suspected shooter, the sources said.

So on Friday, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) demanded a formal explanation for the move from the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Given the highly unusual nature of the transfer, it would have had to be personally approved by a high-level BOP staffer.
