Hope this is not a duplicate. No more details yet Passengers getting off

[lastchance]

Hey he " fired" a gun, didn't he?

[dawn53]

Good question. If it was some sort of attack, I guess today would be as good a day as any:

Shep needs a steady supply of Midol & wine spritzers

LMAO!! I got admonished by a poster on a thread a while back for saying Shep reminds me of Elton John.

[spunkets]

Yes. They apparently overheard the guy talking about a bomb, confronted him and blasted him in the jetway between jet and terminal, as he tried to escape.

[Petronski]

LOL

(Expected) Reports that no bomb or other WMD were actually found on board or on the slain "victim" have led to further charges of no imminent threat by this traveler. The Columbian government has issued a strong condemnation of this senseless act of violence and Kofi Annon was reported to have.... Bleah.

[silentknight]

AP confirms the passenger was shot...

2 Law Enforcement agencies now say he was shot dead...

[conservativebabe]

excellent synopsis!

[Hank Rearden]

You forgot munching pastries. I've yet to see a TSA screener who's missed a meal.

They put out an "all units respond - with Krispy Kremes!" call.

Like it takes 500 people standing around two hours after it's all over, "securing the scene".

[YoshiBear]

Great now we don't have to go through a trial where the police are blamed for planting evidence

[Miss Marple]

Shep is starting to ramp up the consternation. He's getting ready to do his schtick, mark my words.

Expert says that air marshal may have been there to watch for someone, and not just randomly there.

[Hard Way]

I'd always heard double-tap to the chest, then one in the head. Seems like an effective plan...

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

Is airspace over any particular areas being closed? I wonder if this could be the tip of an iceberg indicating a larger, coordinated plan. Sounds a little odd for a U.S. Marshall to be on this flight without some sort of tip.

[mewzilla]

So far, a passenger was killed or only wounded by one or two air marshals on the plane or the jetway while boarding or deplaning on a flight from Colombia or to Orlando or both . . .

LOL. That about covers it.

[texianyankee]

someone on Fox is speculating that the air marshals were there on a "tip."

[silentknight]

Jennifer Santiago reports a source tells her that this incident was not terrorism related, that a passenger aboard the plane announced that he had a bomb.


LOL

[all4one]

Oxen...I have found both reports that he is wounded and that he is dead...once again we need to wait for someone at the scene to take a pulse and give the MSM a clue.

[SaxxonWoods]

wee=see Cripes...

[Petronski]

BTTT

[Terabitten]

Maybe he saw his friend Jack and said, "Hi, Jack."

LOL!
