More people running across tarmac away from terminal for some unknown reason.

Parking garage is still an active scene, too.

[Yaelle]

I’m stunned. First mass shooter who is not an Islamist in a long time.

[hoagy62]

Are we now talking multiple shooters???

[MayflowerMadam]

The man speaking with Shep is amazing giving on-the-spot information while lying on the floor.

These lethal incidents will continue until there is MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCES for the perp(s).

These animals don't mind going to the slammer for years or for life. Why should they mind? They get 3 free hots and a cot, TV, free medical, library, exercise court, maybe a live concert or two...all of which is probably much more than they've been accustomed to in their miserable lives.

Give this guy a fast trial and haul him off to Starke, Florida, the site of Old Sparky...which hasn't been used for the ultimate penalty in 16 years.

FLASH !!!!!Just heard on TV perp's name "Estefan Santiago".

Shooting still going on at airport. Top feeds

Helo dropping in snipers on buildings to give top side overwatch. Warned of multiple shooters.

.... Since the first shooter was Latino I wonder if perhaps La MECHA or some other group may have militarized. After all .... Today is the day that the extremely racist Trump was confirmed as the next President!

[John W]

Could still turn out to be such.

[txhurl]

If they’re all hispanic, and ex-mil, then we have a group. And a problem.

Baggage claim is outside the TSA screening area.
