NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

A group of teenagers started a violent riot and broke out of the Woodland Hills Youth Development Center in Bordeaux late Wednesday night.

Officials said approximately 24 teens got out of the building, but none were able to get outside of the facility's gates.

Department of Children's Services officials said it all started just before midnight during a shift change when 10 teens were able to kick out doors and get outside. They then allegedly started throwing sticks and rocks at guards.

The teenagers were reportedly using fire extinguishers to smash windows, helping others escape their rooms.

Officials said some of the teens came outside because of the fumes from the fire extinguishers but were not involved in the riot.
