An FBI agent was involved in a deadly shooting connected to the Boston Marathon bombing case.

The man who was shot, Ibragim Todashev, had been interviewed about his connections to the bombing suspects before by the FBI and started out cooperative, NBC sources said.

The suspect then went to attack the agent and was shot, the sources said.

The suspect is deceased, the FBI said.

When we do, we'll be in a better position to comment. Right now, we have only limited information. I think I'll wait for more information before deciding whether this was appropriate or not.

enough information on which to base an opinion. When those details are available, I'll be able to do that. I think that's what I said in the message you replied to. But, I'm always happy to clarify through repetition. I have formed no opinion about this incident. I don't rely on my sense of "smell" in such situations.
