A federal air marshal today shot and killed a man who said he had a bomb in his carry-on luggage at Miami International Airport. According to a CNN report, the man, identified as Rigoberto Alpizar, 44, and a U.S. citizen, was reboarding an American Airlines flight after a stopover between Medellin, Colombia and Orlando. “The killing marks the first time a federal air marshal has fired a weapon at an individual since the program was bolstered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,” CNN reports.
