Venezuelan officials found 106 firearms and more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition inside a prison after a riot last month that killed 58 people, nearly all of them inmates, the country’s top prison authority said Thursday. The official, Iris Varela, said the weaponry was discovered at the Uribana prison in the western city of Barquisimeto after officials evacuated and searched it following the Jan. 25 riot. The weapons included revolvers, shotguns, submachine guns and assault rifles used by the military, she said. Ms. Varela said the violence erupted when a small group of inmates began shooting at other prisoners while they were being searched by the authorities.
