It all began last Tuesday afternoon when sixty-five year old Jimmy Lee Dykes boarded a school bus in Midland City, Alabama.
Dykes shot the driver, sixty-six year old Charles Albert Poland Jr., killing him, and grabbed a five year old little boy, named Ethan.
He then took the child to his property, and locked himself and his hostage inside a bunker, he had constructed.
Police had been in negotiations with Dykes, since Tuesday evening, and Dykes had agreed to allow things for Ethan to be sent down, such as medicine, toys, and his favorite snack.
However, things deteriorated over the last few hours.
The FBI made the decision to go in, on Monday afternoon, as they felt Ethan was in serious imminent danger.
Exact details have not been released yet, but officers managed to breach the bunker and save five year old Ethan.
During the rescue, Dykes was shot and killed.
