Police fatally shoot man at Ohio airport amid confrontation

COLUMBUS: A man who tried to buy an airline ticket using a fake ID was fatally shot Wednesday after returning to his illegally parked car, where he lunged at an airport police officer with a knife during a confrontation, police said.
The man had multiple knives on him and suspicious items in his car that led to a bomb squad investigation, Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner said. The man was identified only as a Columbus-area resident in his early 40s pending notification of his relatives.
After the first shots were fired, the man got up and headed back toward the terminal, at which point a second airport officer shot him, Weiner said. It was unclear whether he was shot by both officers.
He was shot multiple times, Weiner said.
Police are investigating the man’s background and why he was using a fake ID to buy a ticket. He tried at one point to use a woman’s ID, Weiner said.
“At this point this is just a violent encounter between an armed man and the officers here,” the sergeant said.
Surveillance video, which was not released, will show what happened, he said.
The incident caused delays of just over an hour during the search of the man’s vehicle, when portions of the ticket lobby were cordoned off and a checkpoint to a Delta concourse was closed, said Elaine Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Columbus Regional Airport Authority.
Departing passengers who normally would be dropped off on the level where the shooting happened were redirected to a lower level.
The confrontation occurred after the officer called a tow truck for the man’s vehicle, which he left illegally parked in the departures area.
The airport and the Transportation Security Administration prohibit unauthorized vehicles in the departures area, Roberts said, adding the shooting was the first such incident in the airport’s history.
“We are very pleased that we are back to a normal state for passengers,” she said.
Matt Diehl of Columbus was waiting to board a flight in a growing crowd. He had two hours before it took off for Philadelphia for business, but he wasn’t sure if it wouldn’t be delayed.
“I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but at this point I’m not optimistic,” he said.

this is happening WAY too much. And the fucked up part is, the insurance company is denying coveragethey are leaving us no choice. We will have to fight back.
also, I edited this a bit as it was very long and they drew a comparison to Trayvon Martin, saying this could have possibly been his life had he lived. I'll link the original story at the bottom.....spider
Meet Monroe Bird III below the fold.
On February 4, sitting in his own car in his own neighborhood, talking to a female passenger, Monroe Bird was shot in the neck by a security guard, Ricky Stone, a 52-year-old white man. The bullet*pierced the C3 vertebrae in his neck. Standing 6 feet, 8 inches, Bird, a gifted athlete, is now unable to move his arms or legs and relies on a ventilator to breathe. Beloved by his family and friends, Monroe had a larger-than-life personality and was really a model citizen. His parents pastor a church outside of Tulsa, Okla., and actually serve on the city council of their hometown.
Below we will dig into exactly how this happened and identify some very troubling aspects of the story.
1.*The security guard who shot Bird*possessed marijuana at the time of the shooting. He told the Tulsa police that he hadn't smoked it in a few weeks, and they didn't even give him a citation. This is the definition of white privilege. In Oklahoma, possession of marijuana is an automatic misdemeanor. Why was Ricky Stone not cited?
Mind you,*Tulsa was quick to test Eric Harris for drugsafter they killed him and then released the results widely—even though he never acted violently toward officers.
2.*The security guard went to the tired, age-old excuse and claimed that*he saw Bird reach into his glove compartment. According to the police report, no weapons were found in or near the car, and no items that even seemed to belong in the glove compartment were found out or about in the car. Yet, in a hurry to leave, we are expected to believe that Bird randomly fidgeted in the glove compartment just for the hell of it.
3.*The security guard claimed he thought Monroe and his female passenger were having sex in the car and that he only approached them because of this.
She's white. Bird is black.(NOTE: save your bullshit comments about fuckin with white women......FOCUS)
Both she and Bird have adamantly denied any such thing was happening and denied it when the security guard confronted them. What role did race play in this confrontation?
The security guard has claimed that Bird, who has no criminal record, attempted to run him over and basically kill him there on the spot—a preposterous claim—and that is when the guard says he began firing his weapon into the car.
Both the female passenger and Bird denied the guard's account and stated that they were driving away when Stone began recklessly firing his gun into the car.
4.*The security guard who shot Bird worked for Benjy D. Smith, who owns Smith & Son Security Company. This important to know because Smith is a reserve deputy for the same Tulsa Sheriff's Office that is currently*under national scrutiny*for its unethical practices with Reserve Deputy Bob Bates, who shot and killed Eric Harris earlier this year.
In the past few weeks alone,*Major Tom Huckeby*of the Tulsa Sheriff's Office, whose son, Michael, was the officer with his knee on the head of Harris as he bled to death, has resigned. Before Major Huckeby resigned, Tim Albin, the second in command of the Tulsa Sheriff's Office, resigned. Both officers were directly implicated in earlier reports that they knew Bob Bates was not adequately trained to be a deputy, but was rammed through the approval process anyway.
5.*Even though Bird has not been charged with a crime of any kind, his insurance company has denied him coverage because of comments made by the district attorney, who claim the entire ordeal was Bird's fault and not the fault of the security guard who fired his gun into the car.
Because of this, Bird, who needs 24/7 care and attention, is going to be sent home and denied rehabilitative care. Because his bed and equipment are too big for his bedroom, he will have to live in the living room of his family's home while his mother cares for him. The insurance company will not even cover home nursing care and has advised that the family simply call 911 if they need help. Mind you, Bird is on a breathing machine and is a quadriplegic.
