Authorities at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport in Belize reported a hijacking incident involving U.S. man Akinyela Taylor, who attacked two passengers and a pilot with a knife before being fatally shot by a licensed passenger. The plane, carrying 14 passengers and 2 crew members, circled for two hours before landing safely, with local police commissioner Chester Williams praising the passenger as a hero. U.S. officials are investigating the motive behind the hijacking and are collaborating with Belizean authorities to gather more information.
