After a tortuous week for all involved, the 5-year old boy who was abducted off his school bus a week ago has been freed.  His captor, Jimmy Lee Dykes, is dead.

The boy had been held in an underground bunker.  The abductor shot and killed the bus driver Albert Charles Pouland, Jr.  His funeral was held yesterday where he was hailed as a hero.

This is a breaking story with details still coming out of Midland City, Alabama.
