MIAMI - A passenger who claimed to have a bomb in a carry-on bag was shot by a federal air marshal Wednesday on a jetway connected to an American Airlines plane that had just arrived from Colombia, officials said.
The passenger's condition was not immediately disclosed.
Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Doyle said after the plane had parked at the gate, a passenger indicated there was a bomb in the bag. The passenger was confronted by air marshals but ran off the plane, Doyle said.
A team of air marshals pursued and ordered the passenger to get on the ground. The passenger did not comply and was shot when apparently reaching into a bag, Doyle said.
The plane, Flight 924, had just arrived from Medellin, Colombia, and was headed on to Orlando.
Airport and Miami-Dade County police officials said they had no immediate comment. American Airlines officials confirmed the shooting was on a jetway.
"All I know is that it was on the jet bridge, outside the aircraft," American spokesman Tim Wagner said. "I don't know yet if the passenger had been on the plane and was getting off, or was starting to board the aircraft."
Martin Gonzalez, spokesman for Colombia's civil aviation agency, said the flight "left normally with no problems."
He said he did not have a list of passengers who were aboard the plane.
They did his wife a favor, she doesnt have to live with this nut anymore. I hope he had good insurance.
Bi-polar seems to be the excuse for almost any nut these days.
"Will the dums. hold a candlelight vigil for the bomber?"
Yes, they will blame it on Bush that he died.
And then when something bad happens that is not thwarted, they will blame it on Bush for not having enough security.
IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT. IF HE HAD 'HILLARY CARE', HE'D HAVE HAD HIS FREE MEDS AND A HOT NURSE TO MAKE HIM TAKE THEM!
Ordinarily I would object, but there were 2 real cuties on my flight back from Atlanta last week. My luck would be to get the middle seat between 2 sumos.
Don't say that.
He's European American.
"Honey, I just mailed off your life insurance premium; let's book an international flight."
He threatened someone with a pair of scissors? I must have missed that part somewhere in the news coverage so far.
Did you see -> Meet the Faulkers...........bomb-de-da-bomb-de-dah-bomb
"Bi-polar seems to be the excuse for almost any nut these days."
Yep.
I think there should be a be sign at the front of every airport gate that say "If you say you have a bomb, you will be killed"
"If you say, whisper, twitch, cough, sputter, or otherwise give any indication that you have a bomb, you will be killed"
No difference between this guy and Howard Dean. Both raving lunatics.

Only kidding of course. The ACLU will never go for this.
I can hardly wait to hear the talking head liberals, ie. Alan Colmes, defend this "poor victim" and attack the good guys.
It's unfortunate, but should the marshalls NOT have believed him and done NOTHING?? I don't think so.
