Re: Federal air marshal shoots passenger on MIA jetway

[Richard A Whitenight <rum.runner@xxxxxxxx>]

Make that shot and "Killed", according to the latest reports.  Sky
marshals acted exactly as trained, because this individual struggled with
the sky marshals, then reached into a bag, leaving the sky marshals no
alternative but to shoot to kill.  From what I understand, they are
trained to shoot the individual "in the head", in order to make sure the
individual does not have the capability to use his mental faculties.

connecting an American Airlines plane to Miami International Airport,
sources told CNN. The marshal's action came after threatening action by
the passenger, a federal government official said. The Federal Air
Marshals Service confirmed a marshal fired his weapon while the  Boeing
757 -- which was en route from Medellin, Colombia, to Orlando, Florida --
was on the ground at Miami.
