A 16-year-old boy was hit by a car after getting off of a school bus Friday afternoon, officials say.

The student, a freshman at Shepton High School, was transported to the hospital but is expected to recover.

Plano police said the bus stopped on Windhaven Parkway east of Midway Road to let some students who live in the neighborhood off the bus. The injured student got off the bus and walked in front of it to cross Windhaven Parkway.

The driver of a black Lexus apparently didn't see the bus's stop sign and flashing lights. The car hit the boy, sending him flying over the front of the car and smashing the windshield.

In order for the school bus to open its doors to let students out, the stop sign on the side of the bus must be extended and the red flashing lights must be on.

Once the investigation is complete, police will determine if any charges will be filed.

The Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau is taking action after being inspired by NBC's Ann Curry.

This week Curry sent out a tweet motivating those throughout the country to provide random acts of kindness on behalf of the 26 victims of the massacre in Connecticut.

The Irving CVB staff has been planning out the most meaningful ways to pay tribute to all of the shooting victims in Connecticut.

"We are trying to take the characters of students and match them up with some kind act that we can do," said Diana Pfaff, director of communications at the Irving CVB.

The organization is spending roughly $500 to perform 26 random acts of kindness throughout the city. To do so, they have partnered with local businesses to accomplish their mission.

Marlen Torreblanca got her cat food paid for at PETCO in honor of 6-year-old animal lover Catherine Hubbard.

"I'm sad that she is not here and I'm grateful that y'all are doing this for her," said Torreblanca.

As the random acts continued throughout the day, Pfaff said she's grateful to Ann Curry for motivating her to do something positive for her community.

"Her philosophy is, when you do something good, you feel good. And I think a lot of us have felt not very good because of what has happened up there. Even though it's half a country away, we're still affected here in Irving, Texas," she said.

Pfaff said the Irving CVB's 26th act of kindness will be to send a special delivery to Curry, thanking her for inspiring them. That act will be in honor of 27-year-old Vicki Soto, who was an inspiration to all of her students.

Man in Custody After Attacking Wife With Hatchet

advertisement

A man is in custody after he attacked his wife with a hatchet in Keene, police say.

Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford told NBC 5 that the man assaulted his wife and then chased her around with a hatchet.

The woman survived the attack but was injured.  She was treated by CareFlite personnel at a neighbor's home but was released against the advice of medical professionals.

According to the Keene Police Department, officers were called to the 3000-block of U.S. Highway 67 East for a disturbance with weapons where the victim said she had been assaulted by man later identified as 26-year-old Mario Granados.

The caller said Granados "had been tearing up the walls and other items in their home using two machetes, as well as damaging their vehicle with an ax."

Keene officers, along with officers from the Johnson County Sheriff's Department, arrived at the home where they soon spotted a man running from one home to another.

Believing the man was still armed with a machete, a coordinated entry into the home was made by police.

Once officers were inside, the man was nowhere to be found.

A search of the area was conducted by several law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, a DPS helicopter, constables, sheriff's deputies and local police.

At about 9:30 p.m., the man called 911 and said he wanted to turn himself in.

The man was then located on the 400-block of N. Eastern and taken into custody.

Granados is now being held in the Johnson County jail and has been charged with a Texas Department of Criminal Justice parole warrant and with a misdemeanor warrant out of Arlington. A warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is pending.

'Tis the Season for Stealing

Police departments everywhere say crimes such as burglary rise during the holidays.

Home and car burglaries tend to increase as thieves look to profit from newly purchased gifts.

Burglars also target home deliveries. UPS, FedEx even the U.S. Postal Service all get more complaints of theft after leaving gifts at unattended homes.

Thieves know to follow delivery trucks and wait, which is what happened at Alicia Vaughn's Oak Cliff home.

A woman walked to her porch and stole a box of gifts seconds after UPS delivered the package.

"Video footage showed them driving in front of the house back and forth two times, and as soon as the UPS guy drove off, they came back again drove up and backed into the driveway," Vaughn said.

The theft happened despite Vaughn's sign in her porch window that warns thieves they are under video surveillance.

"I've uploaded the videos on YouTube, onto Facebook," she said. "I notified the news station, and I want these people to know I see you and I know what you've done and you're not going to get away with it."

UPS trains delivery personnel to conceal packages left at home, especially at this time of year.

"Unfortunately theft at this time of year happens every year," UPS spokeswoman Natalie Godwin said. "We always receive these complaints at Christmas."

The volume of deliveries creates opportunity. Thursday is the busiest day of the year for UPS, which will make 28 million deliveries on Thursday alone -- 300 packages per second.

"They have no idea what they have, and it may not mean anything to them," Vaughn said. "They just want to pawn it or make some money, you know. It's meaningless it's an easy crime."

UPS has a program to ensure delivery when customers want it, either by time or adult signature,

Vaughn said she would look into it next time, even though she has been getting gift deliveries the same way for 14 years.
