OMG - the shots were fired on board the plane
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1382265
the breaking alert at ABC states that it was the air marshall who fired the shots.
I missed this because I can't stand watching Fox anymore. I've been out shopping and wrapping gifts and enjoying the weather.
I really wonder why an Air Marshall would have to fire on someone onboard a plane full of passengers? Are there any updates?
