Florida ? A 13-year-old boy abducted at gunpoint from a school bus stop Friday morning made a “miraculous” escape hours later, authorities said. The gunman was still being sought.

Clay Moore wasn’t hurt except for scratches and scrapes, Sheriff Charlie Wells said. Clay was still being interviewed, and the sheriff declined to comment on what happened while the boy was alone with his captor.

“He was bound, he was able to get free,” Wells said. “It was miraculous, to tell you the truth.”

Clay was standing with about a dozen children and was closest to the gunman’s red truck when he was taken at gunpoint about 9 a.m., Wells said.

The boy was bound and taken to a wooded area. After being left alone, Clay managed to free himself and walk until he found a farm worker with a cell phone. He called his mother about 1:30 p.m.
