BANFIELD: We are getting breaking news on the Boston Marathon bombing investigation. And the information is not just coming from Massachusetts; it's coming from Florida as well. Because the FBI is now saying publicly that a man who was killed this morning in a shoot- out with Orlando officers, an FBI agent in fact in Orlando, that man was being investigated for links to the Boston bombing suspects. And it goes beyond that. That FBI officer wasn't alone. Apparently, there were officers from Massachusetts, the Massachusetts State Police Force. Two officers from the state police in Massachusetts were down in Florida and they were conducting interviews with this individual in connection with the marathon bombing investigation. Apparently, a violent confrontation, according to the FBI -- and we're just getting this information now -- a violent confrontation was initiated by this individual. During the confrontation, the individual was killed. The agent, the FBI agent who was involved, also sustained injuries, non-life threatening, we're told. The incident is now under review. The FBI is not commenting further but this does open a whole host of other questions with regard to who this person down in Florida was, and also what his connection to the bombers was.
