Shots fired!!!!!

[up-the-dubs]

On a plane in Miami. But it's on the ground? You gotta love the worlds desire for "LIVE AND UNINTERUPTED COVERAGE" of these events.

Federal marshall fired the shot according to CNN. Who won the last election CNN??? Errr... Bush. No wait a sec...... Dole. No sorry.... it was Bush.

Yawn yawn yawn, :shouting: there's nothing happening.

S.W.A.T team on the scene!!!!

[Cyberhuss]

Watching this on CNN right now.. where is the S.W.A.T team?

[Cyberhuss]

Ah i see them, i think this is pretty much over now.

They didn't actually say "swat" but three black vans pulled up and all the boys jumped out.

A passenger has been shot and wounded, latest from BBC.co.uk

[Nuggs]

Apparently the chap has been shot dead (Sky News).

[remal]

just heard the same. shot dead. just hope the person who said they had a bomb was not drunk

[up-the-dubs]

According to sky he was shot in the "sky-walk" thingy trying to get off the plane!

YOu should not have live ammo on airliners, IMHO. If the guy was pished then he was shot for being drunk?

Crazy!

No mention as yet, they've flicked onto Thatcher for a while.

They're saying now that a woman who was with him said that he was mentally ill. Sad but rather darwinian in the current climate claiming that you have a bomb then going for your bag with armed men pointing guns at you.

Don't think they say "swat".....more like "oops, you're dead"

Get ready for a "smear job" on the guy who was shot.
This seems to be their M.O.

The news report seems a little cloudy. He had a back pack and was running and was somehow reaching in to it! That's not easy!

The back pack would have just been searched a few minutes earlier as he was boarding a flight.

If I ever lose my hearing I'm going to buy a kevlar vest.
