    Ft Lauderdale Mass Shooting

    Already mentioned in the "Shooting Incident in the News" thread. Five deceased. Unfolding.

    Shooter is in custody. Ground stop at the airport in effect. People scattered all over the tarmac, and there's a lot of residual panic about.

    One asshole or multiple assholes?

    Thanks for the info. Will turn on the news.

    EDIT: Fox reporting from a gentleman on the scene at 2:46PM who is lying on the floor as LEO is telling him not to move. He just hung up.

    EDIT: Fox reporting witness John Slichter stated a man arrived at Baggage Claim and started shooting hitting multiple people in the head, reloaded and repeated at least one more time. LEO sources report 5 dead and multiple injuries. This man is in custody. Terminal 1 being evacuated at FTL. Unconfirmed witnesses report shots fired in garage.

    EDIT: Fox stating information from TSA a second active shooter @2:49PM, directive to shelter in place, airport is closed. In direct contrast to one hour ago.

    SSRI, Religion, or other? Enquiring minds are curious—but not enough to google...

    Dude's name is apparently 'Esteban Santiago.' They're looking for his vehicle right now. Appears to be just one shooter. Lots of vestigial panic at the moment.

    Thirteen people shot. Five fatalities. Happened at the baggage claim.

    ETA: guman reportedly said nothing. Focused on shooting people in the head. Used a handgun.

    There's always reports of a second shooter.

    @WACHFOX on Twitter is reporting this,
    Suspected shooter Esteban Santiago had checked his gun at the airport and then loaded it the bathroom when he arrived in Florida.
    Presumably, that means he checked his gun in at his departure airport and loaded it at the arrival airport, before starting his rampage.

    So...yea that ain't good news for folks who travel with guns regularly, after this.

    The gun looked like a Walther PPS on the news.
