Gang Shooting Near Texas Prison Holding Ghislaine Maxwell Spurs FBI Investigation

Early Saturday morning, a gang shootout occurred near the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas where Ghislaine Maxwell is being held, resulting in no injuries to staff or inmates. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the shooting was unrelated to Maxwell's incarceration and stemmed from a block party involving rival gangs. Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking conspiracy, was transferred to this minimum-security prison earlier in the month, prompting increased security measures including armed guards and privacy screens around the facility. Neighbors expressed concern over the heightened security, noting patrols appear focused on Maxwell’s presence rather than general neighborhood safety. The transfer followed Maxwell’s questioning by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network. An active investigation into the shooting is ongoing, with authorities expressing gratitude for the rapid and professional response by law enforcement.
