News sources are reporting that a United States air marshall fired a gun at an American Airlines passenger on flight 924, a Boeing 757, at Miami International Airport, in Miami, Florida, USA. Reports indicate that after the plane arrived at the Miami airport, the passenger claimed to have a bomb in their carry-on bag. The passenger ran out of the door of the airplane when the flight arrived, but was intercepted by the marshalls and told to get on the ground. The passenger did so, but then reached for a bag, at which point a marshall shot and reportedly killed the passenger. No bomb was found when authorities searched the airplane.

The flight was en-route to Orlando from Medellin, Colombia, and had landed in Miami. The shots were fired in the boarding bridge — the corridor that connects the aircraft to the terminal. Reports also indicate SWAT teams are surrounding the plane. According to CNN, a federal official indicated that this is the first time an air marshall has fired a weapon near an airplane.

MSNBC reports that another passenger told a local TV station that the man started "running crazily through the aisle" after the plane landed, as a woman travelling with him ran after yelling that her husband was bipolar and had not taken his medication.
