A prison inmate who allegedly took a guard hostage has been shot dead after a riot was live-streamed on social media.<\/p>\n

Firearms officers killed the unnamed lag who reportedly stole the worker's keys and unleashed mayhem at a notorious US lockup.<\/p>\n

The suspect freed convicts from their cells who started chanting and pounding on Oklahoma County jail's gates on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A prisoner complained about the "horrendous" conditions inside in videos which were posted on Twitter and Facebook as the officer was being held.<\/p>\n

The clips included footage of the officer being taunted by a dancing prisoner while on his knees.<\/p>\n

The Oklahoman reported that the local sheriff office was called just before 4.30pm after the detention officer was taken hostage. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They called for backup from the police when they found an inmate had taken his radio and keys and freed other inmates from nearby cells.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Tommie Johnson III said they tried to de-escalate the situation but police shot the inmate as he had the officer in a \u201chostage position\u201d with something held against his neck.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place on the 10th floor of the prison where it keeps its most dangerous inmates.<\/p>\n
