FULL TITLE: Gunman kills at least five people and wounds nine at Florida airport: Shooter in a Star Wars shirt opened fire in Fort Lauderdale baggage claim aiming for victims' heads - and more shooters are reported
The deadly shooting at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport is not over yet.
Sources tell DailyMail.com that there is another shooter in the parking garage.
Five people were killed and another six injured when a guman opened fire in the baggage claim area of Terminal 1 around 1pm.
The gunman in that incident - who was wearing a Star Wars shirt -was taken into custody and has since been identified as 26-year-old Esteban Santiago of New Jersey. Santiago was carrying a military ID.
About 90 minutes later, chaos broke out again when more gunshots were heard. Police officers were seen rushing into the parking garage with their guns drawn while bystanders sought shelter behind vehicles.
The TSA confirmed that there was another active shooter situation and issued an order to shelter in place.

And is that the name he uses now.
I don’t care what spell check says. There is no “a” in border.
Canada now says the guy was never on a Canadian flight. The guy supposedly goes to all the trouble to fly with a checked gun so he can shoot up an airport. He could have just shot up the airport where he lived.
This is a poorly put together last minute false flag to try to initiate some gun control on Ofails way out the door.
We are traveling from Alaska to Seattle later this month. We both have WA CPL but we have had checked bags pilfered in the past and are concerned about putting valuable firearms in checked luggage, especially in an obvious double locked gun case.

There has been a rash of luggage claim thefts at Stevens Intl.
Alaska Dispatch News just had an article about it.
LOL! Obi Juan.
He left from Alaska.
Now i hear he was honorably discharged from the AK National Guard.
If that is true, it is going to screw things up for all of us who routinely (legally and with air-carrier approval) transport our weapons in locked, checked-though cases wherever we fly.
The item you posted shows “Race” as “White”.
Another “white Hispanic”, ala George Zimmerman?
Esteban Santiago must be spending a lot of time in the tanning booth, when he is not watching Star Wars and engaged in serial killing.
I don’t travel a bunch with a weapon, but the few times I have it has been locked and checked-in through the special TSA desk for firearms with no problems.
I think one would run a huge risk of trying to run it through in regular luggage. Either you get caught; or it does get stolen - and then you out a gun with no recourse.
At least if it gets stolen after the proper check-in procedures the TSA will be on the hook instead of you. Although I’m guessing the penalties for the TSA and for us would look quite different!
May be a gap in their security thinking, methinks.
Here's an idea: Make them pick the guns and ammo up from a TSA agent who interviews them at least as stringently as he does the Little Old Lady. Ask him what he does with the gun. Go El Al on him.
Come on TSA and airport cops! Stop phoning it in.
I don’t think he came from Canada at all, Delta from Anchorage to MSP, then to FLL.
Violence in movies needs to be censored
13 casualties. Loaded gun twice, three times by one report. 6 round revolver? (12 to 18 rounds) Semi-auto with magazines? A lot more rounds with a lot of misses.
If a revolver, must have had them clipped for fast loading.
Air Canada is now saying nobody with that name was on any of their flights, nor were any checked firearms. Back to square one.
