Picture
    On Tuesday afternoon, bus driver
Charles Poland Jr. was shuttling children from school to their homes when he dropped Miller's two boys off and a man boarded the bus.
 He demanded Poland, 66, hand over a child. Poland refused, blocking access to the bus' narrow aisle as at least 21 children escaped out of the back emergency door, according to police.  Poland ended up getting shot immediatly dying.  The suspect took 2 kids but one escaped.  They are now in an underground bunker.

  It's unclear whether the
suspected gunman was after a specific child on the bus. Police have said there
is no connection between the suspect and the abducted boy, whose identity is
being withheld.
    
    This is sort of strange and weird.  Why would someone want to kidnapp a child and then go into a underground bunker.  Apparental there has been talk that this man is a dooms day preper.  The police have said that this bunker is four feet underground and is laced with PVC pipe.  Neighbors and other sources have named the kidnapper as Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, a Vietnam veteran and retired truck driver, who moved to the area about five years ago.

I think that this is very weird as well. I don't know why someone would want to go kidnap someone off the bus in front of everyone. I think that is a good thing that the busdriver did that though. Who knows what would have happened.

This is a crazy event! Why would this guy kidnapp a random child? I thinks he's just crazy. I am sorry for the family of the child and the bus drivers family. I think this should not be happening in America, all this stuff that is happening lately doesn't seem like it is in our country. These tragic events are occuring so close to home.

Wow, this is a crazy story. It is amazing what the bus driver did for those kids. I wonder how many kids were saved by the bus driver. Hopefully the cops find a way to lour the crazy guy out. That is such a shame what happened.

This is a crazy article. The bus driver was very brave standing in front of the attacker to save children. This is such a cruel story. I really hope they rescue the other child safely with no harm.

I think it is terrible that the children had to go through this. Not only the ones captured, but the ones who escaped. They saw their bus driver be shot and nobody should have to witness that- especially children. I hope that the child who was taken and didn't escape is returned home safely in the end of all this.
