Andrew Lansing was tragically killed following an inmate assault at Ross Correctional Institution on Christmas Day , officials confirmed. 'It is with great sadness that I confirm the tragic death of Correction Officer Andrew Lansing,' Director Annette Chambers-Smith said. 'Officer Lansing is a long-time, well-respected employee at Ross, and his untimely death is heartbreaking for his family, the entire Ross Correctional Institution family, and our agency as a whole.
'He was a friendly, outgoing officer who treated everyone with respect and was always a professional,' Chambers-Smith added.'The loss of a staff person is difficult, but to lose a family member on Christmas Day at the hands of someone in our custody is a tragedy beyond comprehension,' Chambers-Smith added. 'Instead of going home after his shift to be with his family on this holiday, Officer Lansing made the ultimate sacrifice, and our agency will never be the same.'
