WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A gunman was holding five crew members and two passengers hostage on an airplane in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Monday after 167 passengers were released, CNN reported, quoting a Radio Jamaica reporter.

The Radio Jamaica reporter said a shot had been fired, but no one was hit on the Halifax, Nova Scotia-bound CanJet charter flight at Sangster International Airport. Negotiations were under way, according to the report.

Media reports said the suspect breached airport security with false identification and boarded the plane as it was getting ready to take off about 10:30 p.m. local time (0330 GMT Monday).

it was unclear what the gunman's demands were.

He has a gun. I don't think several people want to get shot before they can take him down.
