82. Even if he didn't say "bomb" it was probably justified
People on the plane were scared shit-less by the guy and were getting down on the ground covering their heads. Witnesses said he was told to stop repeatedly then reached into his bag that was on his chest and was shot.
What got him killed was not stopping when he was told to and reaching into the bag. They had no idea WHY he was not obeying their orders and WHY he was reaching into a bag that could have ANYTHING in it. They had to shoot or they were putting the people in the area at risk even if the word bomb was never mentioned.
Probably what happened was the marshals said "They thought he had a bomb" and that got changed to "He had a bomb". Typical poor reporting.
