MIDLAND CITY, ALA.Police, SWAT teams and negotiators clustered at a rural property where a man was believed to be holed up in an underground shelter Wednesday after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus and fleeing with a 6-year-old child passenger, authorities said.
The standoff went through the night after the man, whose name has not been released by police, boarded the stopped school bus in the town of Midland City on Tuesday afternoon. Dale County Sheriff Wally Olsen told WBMA-TV (http://www.abc3340.com/story/20790943/school-bus-driver-shot-6-year-old-taken-hostage-in-dale-county) the man shot the driver when he refused to let the child off the bus and the driver later died.
The sheriff's office named the victim as Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, who had been a bus driver since 2009 for the Dale County Board of Education. The coroner said the victim died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The shooter took the child off the bus, authorities said.
About 50 vehicles from federal, state and local agencies were clustered early Wednesday at the mouth of a dirt road off a U.S. highway. The dead-end road leads to homes including the suspect's property, which was over a low rise behind a church on the highway and couldn't be seen from where reporters were being kept back.
Neighbors said Wednesday the property belonged to Jimmy Lee Dykes, a man in his 60s.
Court records showed Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning to face a charge of menacing some neighbors as they drove by his house last month.

More fodder for the anti-gun crusaders!!
Watch and see how much its reported that way instead of concern for the kidnapped child!!
Poor kid is likely scared half to death already!
Bus driver was shot, later died..--Tyr
