Odd circumstance as there was no flight deck breach required.

Post #5 seems to confirm that perp attempted to use engine fire suppression handles (located in overhead panel) rather than engine shutdown switches as I incorrectly assumed in post #3. Don’t know how two strapped-in pilots managed to successfully keep a 6-1, 210 lb jump seater from pulling fire handles.

Assume federal charges to follow?
