🚨 Horrific News for Law Enforcement 🚨
On Christmas morning, Corrections Officer Andrew Lansing, a 62-year-old corrections officer at the Ross Correctional Institution in Chillicothe, was killed by an inmate. This is an appalling tragedy for the officer’s family and loved ones, and it highlights the dangers faced by those in law enforcement every day.
With over two decades of service, Officer Lansing was respected by his colleagues. Annette Chambers-Smith, director of the Ohio DRC, expressed the profound impact of this loss, calling it “beyond comprehension.”
The inmate responsible has been transferred, but that doesn’t change the reality of this senseless act. Our thoughts are firmly with the officer’s family during this devastating time. This incident underscores the urgent need for better protections for those who serve in our correctional facilities.
