Police teams have massed near a property in rural Alabama where a man is believed to be holding a six-year-old child hostage in an underground shelter after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus.
The standoff went through the night after the man, whose name has not been released by police, boarded the school bus in Midland City.
Dale County Sheriff Wally Olsen told WBMA-TV the man shot the driver when he refused to let the child off the bus. The driver died later.
The sheriff's office named him as 66-year-old Charles Albert Poland Jr, who had been working for the Dale County Board of Education since 2009.
The gunman took the child off the bus, authorities said.
About 50 vehicles from federal, state and local agencies were gathered at the mouth of a dirt road leading to the house where the boy is being held.
Neighbours named the owner as Jimmy Lee Dykes, a man in his 60s.
Dykes was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday to face a charge of menacing neighbours as they drove by the property last month.
The neighbours said he yelled and fired shots over damage he claimed their truck had done to a makeshift speed bump in the dirt road.
County coroner Woodrow Hilboldt told the AP news agency the suspect was believed to be hiding in an underground shelter on his property.
"That's what has been described to me as an underground bunker. Someplace to get out of the way of a tornado," Mr Hilboldt said.
The coroner said Mr Poland died of multiple gunshot wounds.
