Chief Tango send us a link to the story<\/a> of National Guard Staff Sergeant and Alabama Corrections Captain Kevin J. Bishop who was awarded the Soldier’s Medal for his actions on March 11, 2016 at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama.<\/p>\n

At approximately 9:15 p.m. on March 11, 2016, correctional officers at Holman Prison were called to a disturbance in one of the prison dorms. In the process of breaking up a fight among several inmates, a correctional officer was stabbed.<\/p>\n

On receiving the report of the stabbing, the warden, Bishop, and a corrections captain entered the dorm. While assessing the situation, a lone inmate attacked and stabbed the warden multiple times in the back and head. Bishop responded to the attack by deflecting the inmate\u2019s follow-on attempts to stab the warden; shielding him and applying pressure to the warden\u2019s wounds. Bishop was able to hold off the inmate and successfully lead the warden and the other officers out of the dorm to safety.<\/p>\n

In addition, Bishop assured emergency medical services and the corrections emergency response team were mobilized in response to the incident.<\/p>\n

Despite being injured in the attack, Bishop remained on duty and initiated measures to ensure the disturbance was contained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
