Indiana to honor hero principal who died saving kids
INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of an elementary school principal who pushed children out of the way before being struck and killed by a school bus.
Pence's office says flags will be lowered at state facilities in Marion County from sunrise to sunset on the day of Susan Jordan's funeral, which has not yet been announced.
The governor is also asking businesses and residents to lower flags.
Jordan was the principal of Amy Beverland Elementary School in Indianapolis, on the city's far northeast side. She was killed Tuesday when a school bus suddenly lurched forward and went over a curb outside the school.
Two 10-year-old children were also struck. Both were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities are still investigating what caused the bus to accelerate.
