Hijack & suicide?

Quote from post #313 :

MH 653 did not dive at 30000 fpm, as per the FDR it did a series of stall and recoveries(consistent with A/P off and no pilot intervention...there were 3 shots ...so appearently the hijacker shot himself too
If the hijacker shot himself, was this the first of " suicide hijack " not dissimilar to the 911 terror act in NYC?

Also, this would have put paid to the " air rage " theory that was bandied around not too long ago. I am sure someone is privy to more critical information than had been revealed so far.
