Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed in federal prison by another inmate on Friday, according to the Associated Press.
A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press that the incident happened at Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, Arizona.
