At least 41 people were killed in a deadly riot at a women's prison in Honduras. The riot broke out at a women's prison outside the country's capital city Tegucigalpa, and there are fears the death toll will rise. A brawl reportedly happened between members of two rival gangs, after which one gang set a cell alight. Authorities said the fire caused the majority of the deaths, but some of the victims were shot.
