Authorities say at least three people suffered minor injuries when a smoke bomb went off in a haunted house in the Florida Panhandle.
Panama City Police Sgt. David Blaich told The News Herald that at least two females suffered smoke inhalation and a male who grabbed the smoke bomb burned his hand.
Fifty to 60 people were evacuated from the haunted house when the smoke bomb was set off Saturday night.
Blaich said the smoke bomb wasn’t one of the haunted house’s props or scares. It wasn’t known who set it off.
