Counselors are on hand at MacArthur High School where a student was run over and killed as he walked to school this morning.  A 17-year-old student, Jose Torres had just left home from his apartment right across the street from his school MacArthur High.  He was crossing on Aldine Mail Route Road heading to school at 6:55 a.m.  The high school senior made it across the first two lanes, the westbound lanes, and was waiting in the center turning lane for traffic on the eastbound side to clear.  That's when a pickup truck heading west slammed into the teen killing him.
