The Bodda Getta

MIDLAND CITY, AL (WSFA) -
After seven days with few developments in the case of a child hostage standoff in the southeast Alabama town of Midland City, authorities say the crisis has come to an end.

Details are limited at this moment.

Reporters on scene reported hearing a loud explosion a short time ago. An ambulance was later seen leaving the scene but without emergency lights or sirens activated.

Reports indicate the child is "okay". The kidnapper is said to be dead.
