6-year-old run over by school bus, Brooklyn Park police say
A 6-year-old boy being dropped off after school Wednesday was run over by a school bus in Brooklyn Park, police said.
The bus had dropped off the boy after 3 p.m. in the parking lot at Edinburgh Golf Course to walk to his home nearby, police said in a statement. The bus had left the scene but was found by police and the driver interviewed. The driver was unaware that the child had been hit, police said.
The boy was treated and taken by an ambulance to a hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening, the police statement said.
Other children were on the bus at the time, according to police. The bus was being operated by Student Safe LLC. Brooklyn Park police and the State Patrol continue to investigate.

A small fire of three to five acres has been detected in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, but it was holding in place as of Wednesday morning.
The fire was discovered Tuesday and is located on an island in Wood Lake, north of County Road 18, according to a news release from the Superior National Forest. The area is to the northeast of Ely.
The release said the fire was smoldering and holding in place due to good overnight relative humidity levels and light to no wind. However, Superior National Forest is experiencing drought conditions and above average temperatures, and increased winds are expected later this week.
The Forest Service is using aircraft to cool the fire and initiate suppression actions. Firefighters are also engaging with the fire, but ground conditions are difficult, the release said.
“This is an ever-changing event, and we ask the traveling public to stay away from the area and seek alternate routes,” the release said.
The fire is burning among timber and heavy, dead balsam fire, the release said. The origin has not yet been investigated, but it is believed to be human caused.
