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

[YoshiBear]

wonder if he had one of those little beards?

[neodad]

Yep, the DUmbasses are already asking why he wasn't shot in the legs, arms, etc and crying that he was an innocent victim with mental illness- almost making the air marshall the criminal. There are a couple over there that are reasonable, but most are complete dolts.

Remember the bombing suspect on the London tubes. Those were all head shots. I wonder if this was too?

[TomGuy]

CNN reporting that Homeland Security Department is saying Alpizar is a 44 year old US citizen.

[bored at work]

SI, was there a bomb or not?

[YoshiBear]

sounds like a spanish dude/former reports said he was a US citizen and the wife was a blonde

[TC Rider]

Please, I was being faceteous when I suggested that passengers would be sucked out through the bullet holes.

Thanks for the link to Magsafe.

[freeperfromnj]

So we now have a name. Thanks for posting.

FOXNEWS: First discharge of weapon by air security services since Sept. 11

Too funny!

[Hank Rearden]

I love Clyde! And I love Roe -- listen to him everyday, on the internet.

Me, too. His "Michael Jackson" is the best.

[YoshiBear]

ok guess he was a spanish/Columbian American

[Semper Paratus]

Alpizar is a 44 year old US citizen.

Was!

[LaineyDee]

I read that. I disagreed that he was just bipolar.

[texasbluebell]

No more Garry. There was a fairly unpleasant end to their partnership over a year ago.

Now it's back to just the Roe Conn show, as it was when he started out. Fine with me, he's great just with the weather guy Jim, and the traffic girl, Christina, helping out.

[LadyBuzz]

all the cable stations will be "tragedy tv" for days - yikes

[Peach]

Thanks for the ping; just got home and trying to get caught up.

[Godzilla]

AP is reporting that the 'bomber' has died from the gunshot wounds.

[Rte66]

So even Sky News is spelling Colombia "Columbia"? Glad they inserted Medellin, so we would know. Now, if someone ever writes D.C. as "District of Colombia," we really are in trouble.

[TomGuy]

CNN:

Officials in Columbia are saying all security measures were operational at airport there.

==

DFW hub with winter warning watch is being impacted some, but more due to weather than this incident. Otherwise, other air traffic is back to normal. This flight is the only one out of service at the present time.

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh....and his wife, too.
