Gunman holds hostages on CanJet 737 in Jamaica: report
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.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

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