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.

There are numerous hispanic converts to islam. Also, was he really hispanic or was he a “middle eastern mexican”?
It’s a well known fact that terrorists are getting new “hispanic identities.”

Re: “I wonder if it’s somehow related to Cuba?”

Cuba or Club GITMO?

Either.

In addition to Cubans, there's of course also a large Muslim population in New Jersey, the state the shooter was reportedly from.

Un-confirmed sources are saying the other shooters are the last remnants of the Clown scare.

Huh?

Never mind. Looks like they were just normal clowns. Another un-confirmed source was wrong.

The MSM can't imagine what the motive could be... They're just baffled!

I’m not the [****]ing shooter. The guy is 165 LB and 5’7. I’m at work working.

I don't care what his name might imply. That right there is an American for you. LOL.

“Airport.”

Most airport ticketing and baggage claim areas are open to the public and a gun could easily be brought in...whether legal or not.

But, it doesn’t really matter. They could have security checks at the interstate off-ramps or other streets entering an airport...and someone would open up on folks at that point. Heck...at my local airport, bad guys could just spray the crowd collecting at the TSA security check-thru past the ticketing area.

Unarmed is unarmed.

Occam’s Razor: the ammo was checked along with the gun.

“Baggage claim area would be full of people who just got out of the no guns area. Can’t carry past the TSA area even with a permit”

In FL it is specifically against the law to carry in even the unsecured areas of an airport. So law abiding people were armed period.
