W.House: Marshals acted consistent with training

WASHINGTON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - U.S. air marshals who shot and killed an American Airlines <AMR.N> passenger acted "consistent with their training" and an investigation will determine if any changes are needed in operating procedures, the White House said on Thursday.

Florida resident Rigoberto Alpizar, 44, was killed on Wednesday in Miami as he ran from an aircraft. Officials said he claimed to have a bomb in his backpack. Witnesses said the man might have been mentally ill.

"I don't think anyone wants to see it come to a situation like this, but these marshals appear to have acted in a way that is consistent with the extensive training that they have received," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

He said the Department of Homeland Security was working with the FBI and police officials in Miami to determine what happened.

Man that was fast!

You know they must stop, lay down on the ground, obey all orders of the Air Marshalls, now don't you? Being two years old, mentally ill, or deaf is no excuse!
