After raping a woman and attempting to rob a store, a 24-year old gunman took two people hostage, taking them to Reid-Hillview Airport. There he took a security guard hostage and headed towards San Jose Municipal Airport, CA (SJC). There he took two Continental Air Lines mechanics hostage and entered a Boeing 727 parked on the apron. Two hostages managed to escape and after some negotiations, the hijacked was shot and killed by a sharpshooter.
