U.S. marshal fatally shoots defendant

(CNN) - A U.S. marshal fatally shot a defendant in a Utah federal courtroom Monday morning after he rushed at a witness as his trial began, officials said.

Siale Angilau, an alleged gang member charged with racketeering conspiracy, was shot several times at a Salt Lake City federal courthouse after Angilau attacked someone who was on the witness stand, Judge Tena Campbell said in a court document about the incident.

He later died at a hospital after being shot in the chest, the FBI said in a news release.

"There were people yelling at him, telling him to stop, and he just didn't stop," Sara Josephson, who was in the courtroom, told CNN affiliate KSTU. "He kept going forward with his furiousness."

The station quoted FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Dressen, who said Angilau grabbed a pen and charged a witness.

"I believe he was shot in the chest multiple times," Dressen told KSTU.

People were ducking behind benches, Perry Caldwell told the station. He said one person yelled, "Get on the floor!"

"He (Angilau) was falling as (the marshal) was still shooting him," Caldwell said.

Witnesses told CNN affiliates that the witness was a prisoner who was testifying about his life in a gang.

Angilau was the only person shot, said Melodie Rydalch, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney for Utah.

Campbell declared a mistrial, noting the shooting happened in front of jury members, who were "visibly shaken and upset."

"The court finds that this occurrence in the courtroom would so prejudice Mr. Angilau as to deprive him of a fair trial," Campbell wrote.

Angilau was one of nine alleged members of the Tongan Crip Gang charged in a 2010 indictment with racketeering conspiracy. The indictment alleges Angilau committed several convenience store robberies in Salt Lake City and assaulted the stores' clerks from December 2002 to July 2007.

Angilau was charged with several other crimes, including assaulting a federal officer.

the boy was raised to beleive survivalism and betrayasl, violence was a pathologic answer. there would be no way to re-do his neural pathways they are (were) set for that pathos and anytime he visits the past so will those pathways lead that direction

options: labotomy, trial in confines of prison :)

------------------------------
the old laws would put you to death for attacking during trial, yes

the boy is a danger to others. asking him to be civil ? you just don't understand how far away he was. he made a life of being un-civil. by old laws he'd have been banished from civility and shot if he tried to come back.

----------------------------
same time next week there's financial terrorists that cause real injury to others people seem to not wish to attend to, to face up to, and avoid challenging
