CNN provided intense coverage from a Miami affiliate of a 44-year-old American citizen who ran up and down the aisles of AA Flight 924 chasing his wife. Afterwards in the jetway, he shouted that he had a bomb in his carry-on bag and was shot while reaching for something in it, and also because refused to lie on the floor. The passenger is now dead.
Shots fired by US Air Marshal on AA Flight 924 from Medellin while on tarmac in MIA enroute to Orlando. The plane is at Gate B42 now. SWAT Teams are currently circling and possibly boarding the aircraft and signalling the pilot or police aboard. Latest news is that a passenger made a threatening statement and was shot by the Air Marshal and is wounded but not dead.
Update It appears the incident is essentially over. The passenger was shot after saying that he had a bomb while in the "jetway" - the covered passage between the terminal and the jet itself. Officials say he was shot after the passenger said he had a bomb in his carry-on luggage as he was gtting off the plane and appeared to be reaching into the carry-on bag for something.
