Georgia inmate had 'personal relationship' with worker he shot and killed, prison official says

A prison official says the inmate who shot and killed a kitchen worker at a Georgia prison before fatally shooting himself had a personal relationship with the woman. Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lori Benoit said the shooting a day earlier at Smith State Prison was an isolated incident and the investigation was ongoing. The statement did not say how inmate Jaydrekus Hart obtained a firearm. Smith State Prison has capacity for 1,500 inmates and is a close-security prison that houses offenders considered violent or an escape risk.
