Corrections chief nearly assassinated over gang feud
Three former inmates are jailed for alleged plans to kill Arizona corrections director Terry Stewart in retaliation for a get-tough policy against prison gangs. An attempted shooting at a Phoenix restaurant was foiled when two officers entered, and an informant described suspects reaching for weapons. The plot emerged from gang warfare and lockdowns that have confined about 200 inmates. Stewart credited serendipity and police for his safety and said no changes to the lockdown policy will occur.
