NEW YORK (AP) - An eight-year-old boy was arrested on homicide charges after he sneaked onto an empty school bus which then rolled forward and fatally struck a second-grader, police said Tuesday.
The boy was to be charged with criminally negligent homicide, Officer Doris Garcia said. Police were withholding his name because of his age, she said. Amber Sadiq was crossing the street near her school when she was struck by the bus in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Crown Heights. Police believe the boy was alone on the bus, Garcia said. |

Local veterans, shocked that the personal information of 26.5 million veterans was stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee, had more questions about why an employee was allowed to take such sensitive information home.
On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs said that sometime this month, data including the names, Social Security numbers and birthdates of veterans discharged since 1975, was stolen when an employee's home was burglarized. |

Associated Press Mon May 22, 2006 BOSTON - The head of a Catholic-run hospital system faced new allegations of sexual harassment Monday, following complaints of unwanted hugging and kissing of female employees.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley, head of the Boston Archdiocese, asked the governing board of Caritas Christi Health Care to meet again Wednesday to reconsider its response to the allegations against Dr. Robert M. Haddad, who had been reprimanded. "New complaints of misconduct involving Dr. Robert Haddad have been received and are being investigated," the archdiocese said in a statement. Haddad, 52, who is of Lebanese descent, said Monday that a cultural misunderstanding was to blame. "In my Lebanese culture, hugs and kisses among men and women are not only expected, but warmly given and received," Haddad said. |

May 22, 2006 ORLANDO, Fla. -- A high school physical education teacher was relieved of duty Monday after police arrested him over the weekend for allegedly creating a scene outside of a downtown bar and fighting several officers who tried to arrest him.
Police first saw David McCann, 30, standing in front of a bar Saturday at 2 a.m., shirt unbuttoned and yelling he was "Luke Skywalker" at passers-by, according to the incident report. An officer asked him to leave after McCann allegedly got into a verbal confrontation with two women. McCann then allegedly charged the officer, who sprayed him in the face with an irritant. Two officers tried unsuccessfully to handcuff him as McCann wildly swung his fists, the report says. Comment: "Superhuman strength", eh? One possibility is that McCann was incredibly strong because he really IS Luke Skywalker, and the force is with him. Far more likely is the possibility that after tasering the man three times and beating the crap out of him, the officers couldn't very well just say, "He resisted arrest".
