This was the underground bunker where a five year old boy named Ethan had been held hostage for a week until police rescued him from his captor. The boy had been snatched from his school bus and held in the bunker by 65 year old Jimmy Lee Dykes. On Monday, FBI agents stormed the bunker and shot and killed Dykes after a hidden camera showed him wielding a gun and looking agitated, officials said. The boy, who turns 6 on Wednesday (February 6), was treated at a hospital but appeared physically unharmed, law enforcement officials said.
