    According to Belize and United States officials, the man stabbed two passengers and a pilot, before one of a knife passengers shot him. The passenger was licensed to carry a gun and later converted his weapon to the police.

    “We are praying for him,” Belize Police Commissioner Chester Williams told reporters. “He is our hero.”

    Williams recognized the kidnapper as Akinella Taylor and stated that he was an American military veteran, a report by the Associated Press. The US officer could not confirm the statement of the Belize Police Commissioner that Taylor was a military experienced.

    “Terrible,” he said. “We are grateful, I think we are all, that it did not turn into a large -scale casualties, I believe that more than a dozen people in the aircraft. Clearly we know some details. We don’t know much.”

    US officials said they did not know the motive for the kidnapping of Taylor, but were working with Belizian officials to determine what had happened.
