The CNN headline says "Passemger killed after claiming to have a bomb." The CNN article says in the opening paragraph "Federal air marshals shot and killed a 44-year-old U.S. citizen..." yet just a few paragraphs later it says the citizen was wounded.

This is why I check other sources when reading a CNN article involving aviation or plolitics - I want to make sure I get the correct story. At least they got the number of pax that an AA 757 can carry correct
