Colo. prisons chief shot and killed at his home

[cali]

The executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections was shot and killed Tuesday night as he answered the door at his home in a rural, wooded area, authorities said.

El Paso County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Kramer said Tom Clements was shot in the chest around 8:30 p.m. by an unknown assailant at his home in an upscale section of Monument, Colo., just north of Colorado Springs.

Kramer said a family member who was home at the time called 911, but declined to indicate whether the family member witnessed the shooting.

Search dogs were called in to comb through a wooded area around Clements' home, and authorities were going house to house trying to find out what neighbors heard.

Yes, the prison culture sucks in this country but that in no way, shape or form, justifies this brutal act.
