Shots were fired early Saturday morning near the prison facility in Texas where Ghislaine Maxwell is being held, sources familiar with the situation told NBC News. <\/p>\n
Officers from the Federal Bureau of Prisons heard the gunshots outside of Federal Prison Camp Bryan<\/a> before responding and engaging with the suspected shooter, the sources said.<\/p>\n The BOP confirmed that a shooting took place near the prison in Bryan at 1:15 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n No guards or staff members were injured, the sources and the BOP said. The shooting appeared to be the result of a block party near the prison where two rivals \u2014 or rival gangs \u2014 took part in a shootout.<\/p>\n The shootout was not directly related to Maxwell\u2019s incarceration at the prison, the sources said.<\/p>\n In a video shared with NBC News from the area, a car is seen speeding down the street as a man yells something and the sound of gunfire, possibly from multiple weapons, is heard.<\/p>\n Daisy Perez, who lives across the street from the prison<\/a>, said she heard the shots while home with her children.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are very scared because I am alone with my 2 girls and my autistic son, this happened when they were enjoying movies in the living room,\u201d she said via text. \u201cEverything happened very fast, I had just gone to my room and I see through the window the police from the prison on the fence.\u201d<\/p>\n Perez said violence like the shooting is not normal in her neighborhood. <\/p>\n The BOP said in a statement that an investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are deeply grateful to our staff and law enforcement partners for the rapid and professional response,\u201d the BOP said.<\/p>\n
