(Reuters) - More than 100 inmates and guards were injured late on Wednesday at a jail in northern Florida in what appeared to be a gas explosion, an official said. The blast struck the four-story Escambia County Jail's central booking facility, which holds roughly 600 inmates, at about 11 p.m., said county spokeswoman Kathleen Castro.
