Suspected Killer Holding Young Child Hostage
Indiana police say a man is holding a three-year-old child hostage hours after he killed a woman he had pulled off of a city bus. Police say the suspect is holed up with the child in a house in Fort Wayne. He is suspected of having pulled a female passenger from the bus at 8 am on Wednesday, then fatally shooting her about 25 feet away in front of multiple witnesses. He then fled on foot into a nearby neighbourhood, where he locked himself in a house with the toddler. The suspect's relationship to the woman and to the child being held hostage is unclear. The shooting victim is described as a young adult. She and the suspect had been riding on the bus at the same time, but it is not yet clear whether they were companions. However police Spokeswoman Raquel Foster said the shooting is not believed to be random, and that police "have a good idea of who [they are] looking for". http://news.sky.com/story/1067587/su...-child-hostage -------------------------------- Police: Ind.
