LOXAHATCHEE— Four pounds of C-4 explosives were used to detonate the inside of a bus at the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Gun Range on Thursday.

Nearly 30 Crime Scene Investigation technicians from more than 10 county and municipal agencies from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties took part in the mock terror exercise.

Though only a drill, the exercise included the use of fake body parts and evidence markers to be used during the investigation process.
