The indictment contains no terrorism-related charges despite Esteban Santiago's claims to the FBI that he was inspired by ISIS

The man suspected of the shooting at a South Florida airport that left five people dead and six wounded has been formally indicted by a federal grand jury.

Advertisement The indictment returned Thursday charges 26-year-old Esteban Santiago with 11 counts of causing death or bodily harm at an international airport, five counts of causing death during a crime of violence and six counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence. Santiago could face the death penalty if convicted in the Jan. 6 shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The indictment contains no terrorism-related charges despite Santiago's claims to the FBI that he was inspired by the Islamic State extremist group.

Santiago is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges Monday. He is being held without bail.

I guess it was merely “workplace violence”. But, then, he didn’t work there.

You know, when this dude walked into an FBI office claiming the government was forcing him to watch ISIS videos, that might have been an indicator of a really serious problem.

Just sayin’.
