Over 30 teenagers fled a detention center in Tennessee last night, and nearly a third are still on the lam. 

According to CNN, 32 teenage boys between the ages of 14 and 19 escaped from Nashville's Woodland Hills Youth Development Center around 11 p.m. last night by crawling beneath a point of accessibility in a chain link fence during a shift change. The Los Angeles Times reports that each of the boys have committed "at least" three felonies.

CNN adds that 23 of the escapees had either been apprehended or returned on their own, while agencies including local police and the Tennessee Highway Patrol continue to search for the others.
