INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis elementary school principal was killed and two students were seriously injured when a bus suddenly lurched forward and struck them in front of the school Tuesday, authorities said.
Susan Jordan, the principal of Amy Beverland Elementary School on the city's far northeast side, was killed and two 10-year-old children were hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, they said.
The driver told authorities that Jordan pushed several students out of harm's way.
The district canceled classes at all of its schools Wednesday and said in a statement that four locations, including a transportation center, would be "open for emotional support to our staff and families."
Rip heroine.
Rest in peace, Miss Jordan.
