At 3:30pm this afternoon a 67 year old male stepped up into a school bus and held a gun up to the driver and demanded that the driver give him 2 kids between the ages of 6-8. The driver then refused the man, slammed the bus in reverse and pressed the gas pedal quickly. An alarm went off on the bus and then the gunman shot the driver 3-4 times and killed him. The gunman then took one boy hostage. So far they know the boys name is Ethan, He is 5 yrs old and He has autism. The gunman is holding him hostage on his property in a bunker. Negotiators are on the scene and the gunman has allowed the boy to take his meds. The gunman is said to be a Vietnam Vet and his neighbours say He has always seemed a little off. it is a stand off for now. The F.B.I. and S.W.A.T. teams are there.
All the other children that were on the bus escaped safely and were reunited with their parents.
This is still happening as i type. This is only 30 mins from my house. My thoughts and prayers go out to the bus drivers family and the boy being held hostage. I think that driver is a hero.
I am trying to find a decent link to the story. Maybe i can post it later.
