A woman in Indiana has been accused of running over three little brothers who were crossing the street with their truck to get on their school bus on Tuesday. Alyssa Shepherd, 24, was arrested by authorities Tuesday night and taken to the Fulton County Jail but was released on a 2017 southbound bail handled by a 24-year-old woman, said Sgt. Tony Louisiana police Slocum to the press, according to a video obtained by the South Bend Tribune.

“Research has shown that the school bus was heading north and stopped, put its stop sign on and had all the emergency lights on the bus activated. The children then began to cross the street and were hit by a southbound vehicle,”Slocum explained of the deaths of the students at Mentone Elementary School.

A fourth 11-year-old boy was also hit by the truck but survived. He was transported to the Fort Wayne hospital in an emergency helicopter and remains in serious condition. "He has multiple broken bones. My last report is that I was conscious, which is good news, "Slocum said. The fourth boy had no family relationship with the three little brothers who died.

When the incident happened, there were other children at the bus stop but there were still no children on the school bus. "It is a very delicate situation, it is a very, very sad situation," Slocum told reporters. “There are other children who may have witnessed this catastrophic event. It is a very difficult scene.”

Slocum added that the father of the little brothers had to go identify their bodies. A GoFundMe account, with a fundraising goal, created a statement saying that its counselors were helping the rest of the students, their families and school employees to deal with the emotional impact of the tragedy.
