A 500-pound bomb fell from an F-16 fighter jet while it was still on the ground Wednesday night,
causing the evacuation of Homestead Air Reserve Base, the Miami Herald reported.

The bomb rolled into an area near storage of additional 500-pound explosives, reports said.

HARB, located at 29050 Coral Sea Blvd., initially tweeted around 7:45 p.m. that personnel were evacuated "due to an ongoing incident."
