An FBI agent shot and killed an Orlando man early Wednesday who had been questioned for several hours about his alleged ties to Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the victim’s friend told local media.
NBC News, quoting unidentified sources, said the FBI agent shot and killed 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev when the victim allegedly started to attack him while he was being questioned in a Florida condominium.
ABC News quoted an unidentified law enforcement officer as saying that the FBI agent had felt threatened.
“There was some sort of aggressive movement that led the FBI agent to believe he was under threat and he opened fire,” the law enforcement official told ABC News.
FBI officials confirmed that a man died while one of its agents was “conducting official duties,” the Orlando Sentinel reports, but they would not elaborate.
The Sentinel and WESH-TV also identified the victim as Todashev, who was arrested May 4 on charges of aggravated battery in connection with a fight in a parking lot.

I thought the same thing… I’d be agitated too… You questioning me hours on end. What a sad story…
