Traffic was rerouted earlier tonight at 5th Street and Saliman Road after a break at the prison in which gun shots were fired, according to multiple calls to dispatch.
The incident began at around 6 tonight where prison officials from the Nevada Department of Corrections Warm Springs Corrections Facility reported a prisoner that broke free in the Lompa Ranch area. The prisoner took off running and may have been met by a white van picking him up that was intercepted.
The prison facility is located at 3301 East Fifth Street.
State prison officials reported to Carson City dispatch that it had detained the prisoner and he was in custody with the help of the Carson City Sheriff's Office who arrived at the area after state prison officials lost track of the man running.
Traffic was rerouted in areas of 5th Street, Saliman and the Lompa Ranch area. Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said there were no reports of injuries.
