A squirrel went on the attack in a San Jose elementary school Wednesday, bloodying an 11-year-old girl and a parent in a slashing, biting assault and injuring a second grown-up before making its escape.
All three victims from Evergreen Elementary School were treated for bites and scratches at a local hospital, school district spokesman Will Ector said, and all were undergoing rabies treatment as a precaution. They also were administered antibiotics, he said.
The attack occurred as a classroom of first-graders prepared to go on a field trip around 8:30 a.m. Two parent chaperones were standing in the room when the squirrel ran in and clawed its way up one of the adult's legs, Ector said.
"They were trying to get it off and another parent was trying to assist," he said. "In the process, both were bitten. One was nipped on the fingertip and scratched on the arm, and the other parent was bitten on the arm."
Stay alert, folks!

Don't you think this is just cause to raise the Squirrel Threat Level?
For that matter, why wasn't it raised prior to the attack? Shouldn't the intelligence services have known this attack was imminent? I demand a congressional inquiry!
