Gunfire, tear gas at Venezuelan prison

More than 100 prisoners filed out of a Venezuelan prison among National Guard troops on Thursday night after heavy gunfire erupted amid a nearly three-week standoff pitting armed inmates against security forces.
Men emerged from La Planta prison with their hands clasped behind their necks and stepped aboard trucks to be taken to other prisons. Top prisons official Iris Varela said she hoped that all of the inmates who had been resisting would finally agree to be moved to other lockups.
