School officials said 49 students had just left Kate Waller Barrett Elementary School in North Stafford and were sitting in stalled traffic on Garrrisonville Road (Va. 610) when a car ran into the back of the bus about 1:30 p.m.
Damage to both vehicle was minor due to the slow speeds at which they were traveling and no one was injured, said officials. A passing fire truck was able to stop at the scene and summon additional help.
Fire and rescue crews at 5:56 a.m. Friday were called to a house fire at 135 Theresa Drive, just off Winding Creek Drive in Stafford, as fire engulfed the second story of the two-story home.
Everyone escaped the blaze without injury, and fire crews were able to bring the fire under control within 30 minutes of arriving on the scene, said Stafford fire and rescue spokesman Mark Doyle in a press release.
William Hurlbut, 29, of Fredericksburg, will spend 250 months in jail followed by 25 years of supervised release after he plead guilty in June to producing child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District Neil H. McBride.
Hurlbut performed sex acts on the child while he was sleeping and filmed the acts with his iPhone in 2009. McBride said Hurlbut knew the boy since he was just six-months-old.

Woodbridge, Va. — Fire crews overnight were called to a townhouse fire just off U.S. 1 in Woodbridge.
Rescue units were called to the 14000 block of Winding Loop in the Heather Glen neighborhood about 1 a.m. to battle a fire in a three-story town home.
Fire and rescue crews at 3:40 p.m. were called to the 3400 block of Caledonia Circle, just off Cotton Mill Drive, after flames broke out in a three-story town house.
Three people were home at the time of the fire, and one person became trapped on the third floor of the house. Two others tried to rescue the victim but were injured and fled the burning house, said Prince William fire and rescue Battalion Chief Joseph Robertson.
The killing of the American-born Yemeni terrorist Anwar al Awlaki on Sept. 30 continues to show how broadly integrated U.S. military operations and intelligence have become. According to media reports, two Predator drones fired Hellfire missiles at al Awlaki as he and three others were traveling in a car. Also killed was Samir Khan, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was the editor of the al Qaeda magazine Inspire.
The deaths of al Awlaki and Khan were the culmination of an intensive effort to track down and eliminate the threat these people posed to America and its citizens. But our ability to conduct such operations depends on accurate and timely intelligence, as well as a robust communications architecture to help choreograph and synchronize the effort.
