The passenger claimed to have a bomb in his bag (backpack?). He ran down the aisle of the plane. When confronted by the Air Marshalls, he ran off the plane. They ordered him to get down, but he reached in the bag as if to get the bomb. That is when they fired.

He died later. It is not known at this time when or where he died. His wife claims he is mentally ill. There were two Air Marshalls present at the time.
