Oh, gosh, that's horrible! I feel bad for the children on the school bus who saw it happen, too. And JadeIcing, wow. That's just awful. I'm glad you were okay and no one else was hurt... how horrifying.
I've never seen anyone killed, but this summer I worked for my university's dorms. During the summer, the empty dorms are turned into hotels for guests. One day I got a call from an elderly woman who was worried because she hadn't heard from her husband in 6 days. I ran up to his room, keyed in, and the poor guy was dead in bed. He'd been dead for at least five days and it was HOT. Poor guy and his wife... They repainted the walls, replaced the furniture and put in new carpet, then forbid anyone from saying what room the guy was in so as not to freak out the freshman who would be living in that room this year! Also, not two weeks before then there was a 6 hour police standoff with a crazy gunman who was shooting a rifle out a window not 50 feet down the street from where I live. Luckily, he didn't hurt anyone and thank goodness they were able to take him into custody without him dying. I was close enough to hear the guy yelling and the police radios. This is a pretty safe area, but he was here visiting his mom who lived in the house...
