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.

Apparently he became acquainted with the FBI in Alaska. Breitbart? says he was forced to fight for ISIS. Now Air Canada says no one by that name on the flight. This is a terror attack.

Re>Anyone unarmed in public, in a CCW state, is a fool.

HUH? How does one carry even with a CCW coming off an air plane?

"According to un-named sources, his name is Esteban “mohamed” Santiago. His friends call him Moe.

~~~~~~~~~~

If that is unconfirmed, then you better stop making up lies and spreading FUD.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Noob, IF you did, indeed, make up and post that lie as fake news, then your #22 should be your very last post here on FR.

And, don't give us any "humor" crap. There is NOTHING FUNNY about the assaults our Nation is facing!

That would be truly stupid, since he could have come in off the street with a gun and shot up baggage claim just as easily.

By going into baggage claim and retrieving the legally checked weapon that had been declared in checked baggage, as I often do.

I wait until I get home or my car before I remove it from the bag. He did it in the bathroom.

Lots of info coming out on this guy now. Coming out pretty quickly. Too quickly IMHO. They found an awful lot out about him pretty fast. Air Canada denies anyone with that name on any of their flights. NO guns were checked on any of their flights either. Everything is starting to add up as very strange at best.

Yeah that is a bummer in FL law. States’ differences.

Permits ought to be exempt from all gun free restrictions. All.

That still won't keep his idiocy from screwing up legal transport for the rest of us -- even if he went outside, retrieved it, and came back into baggage claim.

Fortunately, I'm able to aoid flying now -- except rarely -- and that to visit folks who can equip me, if need be.

But, when I did travel all the time on buiness, I had a special bulletproof", lockable, foam-lined ordinary-looking briefcase just for sidearms. And I kept an example of the "Carrier Tag" for every airline I flew.

Producing a tag, saying, "I'll need another one of these" -- and placing the case on the counter, unlocked -- for the agent to open -- made traveling nearly hassle free.

Of course the (full) magazines were well separated and the semis had their slides locked open for inspection.

~~~~~~~~~

Where and when I retrieved my weapons depended on the perceived threat level (and "social sensitivity"level) -- and prevailing laws -- at my destination.

~~~~~~~~~

But, if this guy did use a checked weapon -- the libs will see to it that all our rights are further infringed...

I read the article and searched for images. There are lots of recent posts of photos of that same individual up now.

But, you probably know as much -- or more -- about the perp's ID than I do...

WYSIWYG...

He looks more Mohammed than Estiban, but that’s just me.

Yeh, he could have just shot up the Alaska airport. This reeks of false flag!

Then they slap bright orange "FIREARM" stickers all over it to alert any thieves in baggage handling, or anyone who spots your bag at baggage claim before you get there.

So, they pretty much increase the odds that someone is going to steal it, thereby discouraging you from trying to bring it in the first place?

That sounds like our government at work all right.

it’s legal to fly with ammo, providing its in it’s original case or a padded ammo holder and locked in a box that only you the traveler can open. The weapon also has to be in a tsa approved locking case that again only you can open. when you get to the airport you must check it in and fill out the forms to transport a firearm in checked baggage. I fly all the time for work and carry 2 firearms and over a hundred rounds of ammo regularly. Florida is one of the few states that bans carry in baggage claim. most states once you are outside the federal Tsa security zones which baggage claim is your chl license kicks in and you can carry. neyney in Florida it’s a gun free zone until you leave the terminal entirely. I typically load up in the bathroom of baggage claim in states where my license allows me to do so then proceeded to rebtal car shuttles. Florida is on my no go list if I have to go I drive never fly.

they most certainly do not put firearms on the bags that’s false, I fly for work and check firearms sometimes twice a month at the counter. they put a red fragile tie tag on the handle which those who fly a lot know means firearms in side but they do not and are expressly prohibited from actively identifying baggage carrying firearms per the tsa.
