Two federal air marshals were cleared of any wrong-doing for a fatal shooting of a Miami passenger last year, ruled the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.
“The shooting death, while tragic, is legally justified in light of the surrounding circumstances,” the report says.
The 44-year-old man was shot after marshals thought they heard him shout the word “bomb” while running through the cabin of a plane.
The man made repeated bomb threats despite marshals repeated warnings.
The man, who died on the runway, was later found to be suffering from a bipolar disorder.
The shooting was the first time air marshals had fired weapons since planes started flying again after 9-11.
