Alabama man kills bus driver, holds off police after kidnapping child MIDLAND CITY, Ala., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- An Alabama man holed up in a bunker on his property with a kidnapped 6-year-old child after killing a school bus driver Tuesday, police said. The shooting occurred at about 3:30 p.m. in Dale County in the southeastern corner of the state, WSFA-TV in Montgomery reported. Neighbors told the Dothan Eagle the shooter is Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, who was charged in December with menacing a man by pulling a gun on him. Mike Creel said Dykes has a homemade bomb shelter on his property. Dykes lives in Midland City near the place where the shooting occurred. "He's the type that thinks the government's out to get him," Creel said. He's not right in the head. Michael Senn, a local minister, told WSFA he talked to some of the children on the bus. They told him a man boarded it, ordered most of the children to leave, shot the driver and then ran off with a young boy. Creel said he was told by some of the children that the shooter demanded the bus driver give him two children and then opened fire when the driver said he could not do that. The standoff continued late Tuesday night. Police said Dykes had told them he would not hurt his hostage.
