I predict accidental discharge.

Must have been a Glock! . /sarcasm

[LegendHasIt]

Thanks. I figured I was probably overreacting, but they really didn't look regular enough for arrows.

The female Fox news commentator said that ther3e was a body being hauled off in a stretcher as I was typing. So either she was wrong or I mis-heard.

Well, whatever, I hope all the good guys are OK and all the bad guys are NOT ok.

[Semper Paratus]

The only reason I can think of for shooting a passenger is if he was trying to barge into the cockpit.

[conservativebabe]

true enough. still, I'm doubting terrorism.

[msnimje]

Maybe bad guy is dead and wearing an explosives belt or something.

[Txsleuth]

LOL---"that be plural"...love it...

[GeorgiaDawg32]

define "debunked" - Feds say it was a bottle rocket or flare..yea, right..at over 6k feet..I believe them, sure..

[advance_copy]

Thanks for info. Switched to FNC now. Salinsas also says it is a 757.

yep that was one big thread - I was on it - but too lazy to look it up right now. I came home from the dentist hoping to have a quiet afternoon but when I saw this wasn't posted I "bit the bullet" and posted it.

[hispanarepublicana]

or if he was about to pull the lever on a bomb

[Minus_The_Bear]

Or Penny Marshal. I hear she packs.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA comment of the DECADE! I've also heard she carries a gun.

[epluribus_2]

or if he just wouldn't stop doing his Howard Dean scream imitation.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I thought I heard someone comment that the shooting took place in the back of the plane.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Mark Levin shots are better than FOX shots.

[Miss Marple]

Well, I can think of a few other reasons. If the passenger was carrying a sharp object and was threatening to stab someone. Or if said passenger looked like a suicide bomber, with bulky clothing with wires sticking out or something.

[CygnusXI]

....or yelling in arabic gripping a plunger switch in his sweaty palm....

[Tree of Liberty]

Or about to take a hostage, or attack the air marshall, himself.

Feds say it was a bottle rocket or flare..yea, right..at over 6k feet..I believe them, sure..

That's a quality bottle rocket! Not like that crap they sell on the side of the road in Indiana.

[YoshiBear]

we'll probably as usual never get the whole story. The lid will go on real quick

[dinoparty]

attempted hijack?
