Waiting for what has become the inevitable statement on motivation.......

Multiple people dead after shooting at Florida's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport


Multiple people were killed in a shooting in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida on Friday afternoon, the Broward Sheriff's office confirmed on Twitter.

The suspected shooter has been taken into custody. Police do not believe there was more than one shooter.

NBC and CBS have reported, citing federal officials, that three people were killed and at least nine wounded in the attack, but Fort Lauderdale police have not yet confirmed the number of casualties.

The airport tweeted that all services at the airport have temporarily been suspended.

"Communications received a call around 12:55 p.m. about shots fired at 100 Terminal Drive at Fort Lauderdale -Hollywood Int'l Airport," the Broward Sheriff's office tweeted.

Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was at the airport when the shooting occurred.

I'm listening to Broward County Law Enforcement on a scanner, a male came on a minute ago and cleared all but 2 units in division? 4 and 5? to go to the airport. It sounds like there's a second shooter terminal 4, lower level.

If this is true, he just screwed everyone's ability to check weapons on a flight:

Quote:
Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca wrote on Facebook that Santiago landed at the airport aboard a flight from Canada. Santiago checked a handgun in his luggage and retrieved it at the Terminal 2 baggage claim, LaMaca wrote, adding that he loaded the gun in a bathroom then came out and opened fire. NBC News, citing law enforcement officials, confirmed LaMarca's story.

Air Canada says they have no record of a passenger named Esteban Santiago, checked firearms, on any flights to Ft Lauderdale.

Some are claiming ISIS was using that name in a chat prior to the identity being released by the media.

In Nov. 2016, Santiago-Ruiz walked into an FBI office in Anchorage and claimed he was being forced to fight for ISIS, law enforcement sources told CBS News. He was sent to a psychiatric hospital after police were called, sources said.
He was also investigated as part of a child porn investigation in either 2011 or 2012, law enforcement sources told CBS News. Three weapons and a computer were seized, but no charges were filed, sources said.

So the FBI may have lost track of yet another "Lone Wolf"? What do we pay them for?

Just picked this up from Allen West site.

You can sure find out about someone very fast these days..

This gist is CNN is "white" washing the story.

Looks like Esteban just might have a small scar in the middle of his forehead??

The side info is very interesting.

WHOA: Anyone else notice what CNN did to Ft Lauderdale shooter’s photo?
By Matt Palumbo 6:07pm January 6, 2017


Move over George Zimmerman, there’s a new “white Hispanic” on the block.

Such became the case earlier today when CNN identified the lone gunman who carried out today’s airport attack in Fort Lauderdale, killing five and wounding eight. The shooter was 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, who CNN identified as the man pictured below.

see pic 1

Meanwhile, had you turned on CNN, this is the photo you would’ve seen:

see pic 2

They were hardly the only ones whitewashing the shooter.

Separately, one source seems to think this could’ve been an act of Islamic terrorism — although to be fair the chap in these photos looks quite a bit younger.

see pic 3

see pic 4

see pic 5

My guess is this guy is Batshit crazy! And someone before today should have taken his guns away recently even if only temporarily. (See below comment)

The only person(s) this guys actions will hurt (beyond those he killed/injured today) are service members who claim PTSD and have ever told someone they own guns.

Yet again, the FBI fails see a potential threat and let's one get away. (A self referral for mental illness, recent discharge from military for poor performance, mysterious ties to ISIS recruiting, I'm sure there are black helicopters and men in suits wearing dark glasses following him...) As soon as he bought a plane ticket a red flag should have popped up on the FBIs computer. (Anyone see a pattern here between this guy and the two recent one year wonders that spent a deployment in Iraq and then were later discharged under less than honorable conditions and went on to ambush (murder) cops (Dallas/Louisiana). A few simple phone calls (Provost Marshal) would have determined or confirmed he had guns and when he bought the plane ticket agents could have found out he checked the weapon and said no, not today, not for you.

Now it's not illegal or improper for a citizen to fly with guns and ammo when properly secured and checked and nothing should change or be done differently in the future but, when you are investigated by the FBI as recently as two months ago and taken in for a mental evaluation because you are batshit crazy...maybe it's not in the best interests of anyone to allow that person to possess a gun(s) let alone travel into or through restricted areas. There is always FedEx when in doubt.

He may not have gotten on that flight from Anchorage through Minneapolis to Fort Lauderdale with the intent to kill anyone but, by the time he got his gun he was ready to kill everyone. Maybe he had an inflight altercation that didn't rise to the level of police intervention upon landing but he felt slighted and sought revenge.

The good news is this psychopath is still alive and the doctors can unlock his mind for all to see.

Godspeed to the fallen and prayers to the injured and inconvenienced. What a shitshow today for thousands of people who probably didn't even know anything had happened only a short distance away.

There has to be a better way because this "abundance of caution" method only resulted in scaring thousands, costing hundreds of millions and disrupting everything downstream from Fort Lauderdale...what a cluster F...

Things that make you go Hmmm... In a telegram, how could ISIS publish the shooters name before it was reported?

Pamala Geller also said he was wearing an "Islamic war scarf", which is the same Blackhawk "tactical shemagh" I have sitting in my gear room. She can be a bit shrill at times, and she isn't hot anymore. She should stick to baited ambushes in Texas.
