MIAMI — A passenger on an American Airlines flight told NBC 6 that shots were fired on an airplane about to depart from Miami International Airport Wednesday afternoon.
Mary Gardner, who was a guest on NBC 6’s South Florida Today show Wednesday morning, told NBC 6 the plane was on the runway when a passenger caused a disturbance and an air marshal fired shots.
Miami-Dade fire rescue officials confirmed the shooting.
The shooting happened at about 2 p.m. on AA flight 924, heading to Orlando.
I am feeling much more secure flying knowing that the FAM would shoot some SOB that screams “bomb!!”. If I am on a plane and you yell “bomb, hijack, etc.” you are going to have every pencil, pen, Sky Mall catalog, laptop, Palm Pilot, and electric razer that I have shoved so far up your colon that they will have to tag your ass as checked baggage. Having someone freak on YOUR plane is scary. I once sat between two very fat people who sweat on me the whole ride and that was scary enough. “get in my belly little man. Baby back ribs.” Scary. I digress. Anyway,
I am a big fan of FAM’s as of this date. Thank you sir where ever you are.
