Two correctional officers at Trousdale Turner Correctional Center were flown to Nashville hospitals after being stabbed on Friday, according to the Trousdale County sheriff.

Sheriff Ray Russell said one of the officers was flown by helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment while the second officer was flown to TriStar Skyline Medical Center. Their conditions were not known.

CoreCivic, which operates the prison for the Tennessee Department of Correction, said two inmates at the facility made an unprovoked attack against two facility employees around 8:45 p.m. Responding staff restrained the assailants and rendered aid to the assaulted employees. The employees were transported to nearby hospitals, where they have been treated for their injuries.

The inmates have been separated from the general population while an investigation is underway.

CoreCivic said TDOC was notified immediately and the incident is under investigation.
