A hostage situation is developing in Alabama after a suspect shot and killed a bus driver and took a child from the bus in the southeastern town of Midland City.<\/h1>\n

The suspect is reportedly hiding out in a bunker near his residence with the hostage, and has told police he will not hurt the child.<\/p>\n

Local law enforcement have called in the FBI to assist with the case.<\/p>\n

The Dale County Sherriff’s told the local WBMA-TV that the suspect, identified by a report on DothanEagle.com as 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, shot the driver after he refused to allow the six-year-old child off of the bus.<\/p>\n

The driver, whose identity has not been released, later died from the gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

Dykes had been arrested in December 2012 in a gun-related incident and charged with menacing.<\/p>\n

The Dale County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release on the matter:<\/p>\n

“The Dale County Sheriff’s Department has established a command post location at the intersection of 231 North and Private Road 1539 in Dale County, Alabama following a<\/p>\n

shooting. Multiple agencies are present assisting with the incident. Authorities say a call was received regarding a shooting involving a Dale County School Bus at 3:36 p.m.”<\/p>\n

“At this time limited details are being released however the Sheriff’s Department has confirmed one adult male was shot and the suspect is not in custody. Further details will<\/p>\n

be released as they become available.”<\/p>\n

Local school officials have decided to close schools on January 30 in light of the situation.<\/p>\n\n
