WTF?

Some guy walked up to a stopped school bus with a gun, demanded two children, only took one, and shot and killed the bus driver. Now he is in his underground bomb shelter behind his house with the child. Standoff with police. They believe the child(5 year old) is okay. Crazy.

The guy still has the kid inside the bunker, and I read where his name is Ethan. Rumor is that the kid also has Autism and had to have medicine given to him. The suspect, or kidnapper, did let the police relay the medicine to him. Talk is supposedly going on through a PVC pipe.

this is one demented SOB. Killed the bus driver and probably has traumatized the little passengers for life.
