Police said one child was killed after being trapped under the bus. Several other people had been thrown from the vehicle. He said school officials were scrambling to contact the children's parents. Many parents went to the school to get more information. Parent Tom Barocci said he went to the school to comfort his daughter, Jenna, an 8th-grader.
Nobody really knows what to do.
Barocci said crisis counselors were urging parents not to speculate about the accident. A crisis team was brought in to help with the situation. School remained open Friday, though some parents arrived to take home their children. He made it sound like it was not a big deal. Mountain said his son told him all the children were asleep at the time of the accident.
