The attacker was shot dead by other guards, according to Russia\u2019s Federal Penitentiary Service.<\/p>\n<p>The Investigative Committee said inmates were being transported on the Vladikavkaz\u2013Adler train under guard. Near Murtazovo station, a prisoner attacked an officer while being escorted to the restroom, seized his service weapon and fired at the escort team, the penitentiary service said. A law enforcement source told TASS that the prisoner had previously been convicted of serious crimes.<\/p>\n<p>One of the wounded officers is in serious condition, while the other two are in moderate condition, a law enforcement source said. No civilians were injured. The penitentiary service rejected reports of a riot on the train. The scene is under control, and investigators and forensic experts are working to establish the full circumstances of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case on suspicion of stealing a firearm, disrupting the operations of a correctional facility through life-threatening violence, and attempting to take the life of a law enforcement officer. The Federal Penitentiary Service has launched an internal inquiry. The Kabardino-Balkaria Prosecutor\u2019s Office is overseeing the investigation. The service said it would provide assistance to the deceased officer\u2019s family and to all three injured guards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=26672\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk A prisoner attacked prison guards aboard a train in Kabardino-Balkaria, in Russia\u2019s North Caucasus, killing one convoy officer and injuring three others.
