Sources: Man killed by FBI agent confessed to triple murder then grabbed knife

Ibragim Todashev attacked the FBI agent who shot him dead Wednesday after he had confessed to a direct role in the 2011 triple homicide in Waltham, Massachusetts, a federal law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case told CNN.

Authorities were questioning Todashev about the triple homicides and his acquaintance with a deceased suspect in last month's Boston Marathon bombings.

"He used some kind of weapon," the official said, and that prompted the FBI agent to shoot the suspect.
