Miami Herald has:
Shots fired in plane at MIA; one injured
A federal air marshall fired shots on an American Airlines airplane at Miami International Airport, according to broadcast reports. One person has reportedly been injured.
American Airlines flight 942 reportedly originated in Medellin, Colombia, and was scheduled to depart for Orlando at 2:18 p.m. Broadcast reports said the Transportation Security Administration says a federal marshall fired the shot at a person who was considered a threat to the safety of the flight.

CNN: Officials say Air Marshall fired a weapon at a passenger doing something "threatening". Passenger is wounded but not dead.
Law enforcement officers going in and out through the back of the plane.

A Horrible Fox Shot!
