GREENACRES, Fla. -- Officials say four students face expulsion and possible criminal charges after a bottle containing household chemicals exploded in a South Florida middle school bathroom.
A Palm Beach County School District spokesman says two boys brought the homemade explosive onto the school bus Thursday morning and gave it to two other boys. Those boys then took the explosive to a bathroom in Tradewinds Middle School's gymnasium and set it off.
Greenacres Fire Rescue Hazardous Materials crews responded, and the school was placed on lockdown.
Officials say no one was injured in the explosion.
