Fox News
Federal prosecutors have filed attempted murder charges against a 52-year-old accused of stabbing ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in an Arizona prison.
Federal corrections officers intervened "immediately" according to court filings, dousing Turscak with pepper spray. He allegedly told the guards he would have killed Chauvin if guards hadn't reacted so fast. When he waived his Miranda rights, he allegedly told the FBI about the Black Friday symbolism and said he'd planned the attack for a month. Michael Ruiz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

He claimed to have targeted Chauvin solely because he is a high-profile inmate – something prison experts warned was likely to happen.
