   Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of   
   murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously   
   injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with   
   the matter told The Associated Press.   
      
   The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a   
   medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and   
   staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss   
   details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.   
      
   The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was   
   assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. In a   
   statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident   
   and performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not   
   name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.   
      
   No employees were injured and the FBI was notified, the Bureau of   
   Prisons said. Visiting at the facility, which has about 380 inmates, has   
   been suspended.   
      
   Messages seeking comment were left with Chauvin’s lawyers and the FBI.   
      
   Chauvin’s stabbing is the second high-profile attack on a federal   
   prisoner in the last five months. In July, disgraced sports doctor Larry   
   Nassar was stabbed by a fellow inmate at a federal penitentiary in   
   Florida.   
      
   It is also the second major incident at the Tucson federal prison in a   
   little over a year. In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s   
   low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a   
   visitor in the head. The weapon, which the inmate shouldn’t have had,   
   misfired and no one was hurt.   
      
   Chauvin, 47, was sent to FCI Tucson from a maximum-security Minnesota   
   state prison in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal   
   sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22½-year state   
   sentence for second-degree murder.   
      
   Chauvin’s lawyer, Eric Nelson, had advocated for keeping him out of   
   general population and away from other inmates, anticipating he’d be a   
   target. In Minnesota, Chauvin was mainly kept in solitary confinement   
   “largely for his own protection,” Nelson wrote in court papers last   
   year.   
      
   Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Chauvin’s appeal of his   
   murder conviction. Separately, Chauvin is making a longshot bid to   
   overturn his federal guilty plea, claiming new evidence shows he didn’t   
   cause Floyd’s death.   
      
   Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white,   
   pressed a knee on his neck for 9½ minutes on the street outside a   
   convenience store where Floyd was suspected of trying to pass a   
   counterfeit $20 bill.   
      
   Bystander video captured Floyd’s fading cries of “I can’t breathe.” His   
   death touched off protests worldwide, some of which turned violent, and   
   forced a national reckoning with police brutality and racism.   
      
   Three other former officers who were at the scene received lesser state   
   and federal sentences for their roles in Floyd’s death.   
      
   Chauvin’s stabbing comes as the federal Bureau of Prisons has faced   
   increased scrutiny in recent years following wealthy financier Jeffrey   
   Epstein’s jail suicide in 2019. It's another example of the agency’s   
   inability to keep even its highest profile prisoners safe after Nassar’s   
   stabbing and “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski’s suicide at a federal medical   
   center in June.   
      
   An ongoing AP investigation has uncovered deep, previously unreported   
   flaws within the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department’s largest law   
   enforcement agency with more than 30,000 employees, 158,000 inmates and   
   an annual budget of about $8 billion.   
      
   AP reporting has revealed rampant sexual abuse and other criminal   
   conduct by staff, dozens of escapes, chronic violence, deaths and severe   
   staffing shortages that have hampered responses to emergencies,   
   including inmate assaults and suicides.   
      
   Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters was brought in last year to   
   reform the crisis-plagued agency. She vowed to change archaic hiring
