Ibragim Todashev, 27, an Orlando man with alleged ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect An Orlando man being investigated over ties to Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed during an encounter with an FBI agent late Tuesday, WESH Orlando reports.
WESH has more:
A friend of the suspect, Khusn Taramiv, said his friend, 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters.
Taramiv claims he and Todashev were interviewed by the FBI for nearly three hours on Tuesday.
“(The FBI) took me and my friend, the suspect that got killed. They were talking to us, both of us, right? And they said they need him for a little more, for a couple more hours, and I left, and they told me they’re going to bring him back. They never brought him back,” Taramiv said.
The FBI confirmed a person was shot and killed, but wouldn't give details on the investigation, according to WCVB.
FBI sources speaking to WESH said that Todashev, who is from Chechnya, "flipped out" during an interview and an agent was forced to shoot him. More details are to be released Wednesday morning, according to an FBI spokesman.

WESH "We are currently responding to a shooting incident involving an FBI special agent," FBI spokesman Dave Couvertier told WCVB. "The agent encountered the suspect while conducting official duties. The suspect is deceased."

Well, he won’t be talking.
How conveeeeeeenient.
Dead men tell no tales.

It’s not clear to me. Was he IN custody when he was shot?
But weren't we assured by dear reader these were just local malcontents without connections to anyone else?
I read this kind of stuff and find it difficult to comprehend the depths of evil in our current administration.
Too many loose ends on this one.
They get around, don’t they?
Ibragim, my friend, why the bent face?
he was being questioned. this was not on the approach, but after they had been questioning him for a while
for a while
wtf?!
i’m guessing he was also an MMA fighter and the ‘special agent’ was a female that got easily intimidated / overpowered when she over stepped and he got aggressive. at no point in time is there a reason for a suspect to be killed while in custody, unless he grabbed a gun and started shooting (at which point someone should ask why a gun was brought into the area in the first place)
lesson: if the fbi comes to your door and wants to question you, that just means they need to take you someplace... out of the way...
“It’s not clear to me. Was he IN custody when he was shot?”
***************************************************************
Reading between the lines he was in custody and unarmed when he was shot and killed.
I wonder if Pam Bondi will have the FBI agent who shot and killed the unarmed man prosecuted for murder as she has George Zimmerman?
Great. Even if it turns out to be a legitimate case of self-defense (remember, that applies to FBI agents too and not just George Zimmerman), this will just fuel the paranoid conspiracy theories going around.
Saw the headline and the first thing that popped into my head was an old movie title: The Man Who Knew Too Much.

The explanation in the news article smells. The guy went wild, so they shot him? How many agents were interviewing him? Could they not subdue him? Did he have or obtain a weapon?
Still tying up loose ends. They got the Saudi kid out of the country and now they are picking off strays.
If you believe this one you believe Breitbart dropped dead of a heart attack on the street.
Just like 0traitor’s “drone policy”: kill them, don’t capture, no intel, no trails back to 0muslim&Co at the White Hut/Crib. MFSOB.
I gather the Chechen went all Chuck Norris on the agent after the agent drove him back to his apartment. At least that’s their story, and they’re sticking to it—for now.
