I would be worried if the person shot is middle eastern.

Some reports of someone saying they had a bomb and shoving their way on the plane.

Shots Fired on Jet on Miami Tarmac
At Least One Person Is Wounded, Broadcast Reports Says

(Dec. 7) - One person was wounded Wednesday in a confrontation with a federal air marshal after an American Airlines jet landed at Miami International Airport, officials said.

A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed shots were fired from the marshal's gun. The airline said the confrontation was on a jetway.
A second federal law enforcement official, who also spoke only on condition of anonymity because the investigation still was unfolding, said the incident followed a threatening comment made by a passenger.
The passenger was wounded by at least one shot from an air marshal's weapon, the official said.
It was unclear whether the shot was fired during the course of a struggle between the marshal and the passenger or the marshal had fired the weapon to stop the passenger.
The plane had just arrived from Colombia and was headed to Orlando, the broadcast reports said. Television images showed police SWAT officers surrounding the plane.
Airport and Miami-Dade County police officials said they had no immediate comment. American Airlines officials had no immediate comment.
Martin Gonzalez, spokesman for Colombia's civil aviation agency, said he had no information regarding the incident. "The flight left normally with no problems," he told The Associated Press in Bogota.
He said he did not have a list of passengers who were aboard the plane.
Associated Press writer Mark Sherman in Washington contributed to this report.

Fox now saying he's dead.

 

[Dumbluck]

I hope for the sake of the FAM, and aviation security in general, that everything was by the book a "good shoot" as said by CNN

 

[A1FlyBoy]

Good Job, target HIT.

 

[Avimec]

Maybe they'll send the bill to his estate. I would.

How does a witness know that he's 44, bi-polar, and hasn't taken his medications? Does this witness also know if he prefers boxers or briefs?

Witnesses said that his wife was yelling that he was bi-polar and hadn't taken his medication. Oh well............

 

[soonerpilot625]

Good shot one less scum bag in this world!!!!

Tough $hit (not directed at you Grunt), than she should've stopped him from making bomb threats. That is something you just DON'T do!!!!!

I agree! If this was actually the case, taking the medications was his problem, not anyone elses.

The whole thing is daunting. While I firmly stand by our Federal Air Marshalls, it is sad too at the same time. A very sad story indeed, but they must protect us therefore they did a great job!

And now the tsa wants us to take scissors on board, how sad.

 

[A1FlyBoy]

The coverage and 'second guessing' on the news this morning is making me sick. People need to take responsiblity for their actions and OBEY law enforcement orders and DON'T say you have a "BOMB" on or around airplanes.

The Air Marshalls were correct in their actions 100%.

DEAL WITH IT.
