Investigators believe the driver got off the bus and secured it but the boy may have got inside through the back door, an emergency exit that cannot be locked, and caused the bus to move, police spokeswoman Detective Theresa Farello said.

"She tried to run but the garbage can was in the way," said 12-year-old Kassandra Polanco, who saw the bus bearing down on the girl.

Deli worker Sam Ahmad said he saw the girl under the bus and called the emergency services. He said he and about a dozen other men tried to lift the yellow bus to free her but it was too heavy.

Police said the girl was eight years old, while the Department of Education said she was seven.

"I just feel like there needs to be more control before disseminating personal information or people having to access to it," said Karen Fontenot, a Vietnam War veteran who served in Southeast Asia as a nurse with the Air Force.
Veterans' personal information is far too private for an employee to take it out of a secure area, Fontenot said.

"That's too sensitive. That's government property," she said. "We have to have the assurance that our medical records and personal information will be held safe."

So far, no illegal activity related to the data has been detected, but VA officials urged veterans to pay close attention to their bank and credit card statements. But canceling accounts isn't necessary, according to officials.

"We have a full-scale investigation," said Veteran Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson. "I want to emphasize there was no medical records of any veteran and no financial information of any veteran that's been compromised."

Nonetheless, the news was a shock for local veterans who weren't aware of the situation Monday afternoon.

Joseph Fruge, a Marine veteran who served from 1984-88 and then in the Reserves from 1989-90, said he'll keep an eye out for any abnormal transactions.

"Basically, there's nothing that I know that I can do about it now but look at statements and make sure that everything is as usual," Fruge said.

The local VA office hadn't received any releases about the official announcement as of 2:30 p.m. Monday, according to John Hansen, veterans assistance counselor. A call from The Daily Advertiser was the only notice Hansen said he had received about the situation.

"So far, we haven't had anyone approach us with questions about this," Hansen said. "If (veterans) do contact us, we'll learn together."

Nicholson told The Associated Press that it's unclear if the burglars who stole computer disks with the information from the employee's home in suburban Maryland are aware that they have the information. The Associated Press reported that the employee had taken the disks home to work on a department project but did not have authorization to take the data home.

Veterans will receive individual letters advising them of the situation.

The President's Identity Theft Task Force, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission are investigating the breach.

He said he was "stunned to learn that some of my actions may have been misinterpreted; at no time was I aware of making anyone uncomfortable."

Helen Drinan, Caritas' executive vice president for human resources, said that her office had received several new accusations Monday from female employees.

The decision not to fire Haddad has been harshly criticized by Drinan - who took the initial complaints - and others who compare the situation to the archdiocese's initial response to reports of sexual abuse of children by priests.

Haddad was directed to undergo sexual harassment sensitivity training and was told he would be fired in the event of another credible harassment complaint, the archdiocese said.

O'Malley was installed as Boston's bishop in 2003 to help the archdiocese heal after a widespread clergy sexual abuse scandal.

The incident further escalated, with McCann continuing to allegedly attack officers after he was repeatedly kicked and struck with a baton. Officers also used a stun gun to attempt to subdue him.

"He continued to attack with super human strength and made no attempt to escape," according to the report.

McCann was finally brought under control when two responding officers struck him three times with a Taser and another hit him four more times with a baton, according to the report.

He was arrested on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct. Three officers received bruises and other minor injuries, the incident report said.

The Orange County School District said McCann had worked there for two years, but the district already decided before the arrest not to renew his annual contract for next year.
