MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) Another painstaking day as the hostage situation in Midland City continues into another night.

Negotiators are still trying to convince 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes to surrender. Heavily armed officers surround the area.

It was Tuesday when police say Dykes shot a school bus driver and took a 5-year-old boy to an underground shelter on his property.

Friends and family gathered on Saturday for the slain bus driver's visitation service.

Bus Driver Charles Poland laid to rest Sunday.
