The accused gunman in the Fort Lauderdale airport attack faces federal murder charges tonight. 26yearold Esteban Santiago is in custody, accused of killing five people and wounding six others yesterday in a baggage claim area. Dozens more who were not shot also needed treatment. Well have the victims stories in a moment, but we begin with the latest on the investigation. Santiago served in iraq. His family said he came home with mental issues, hearing voices in his head. He was not on a nofly list. David begnaud has more. Reporter this is the mug shot of 26yearold Esteban Santiago. According to the f. B. I. , he is cooperating. He was interrogated for several hours overnight. F. B. I. Agent george piro. We are continuing to look at the terrorism angle in regards to the potential motivation behind this attack. Reporter piro says at this point, the evidence indicates santiago acted alone and flew to Fort Lauderdale from alaska with the sole purpose of committing a mass shooting at the airport. Authorities say santiago, who had just gotten off of a delta flight, grabbed his only checked bag at the baggage claim friday afternoon. Inside, he had a. 9millimeter semiautomatic handgun, and ammunition. He allegedly went into the bathroom, loaded the gun, then walked out and started shooting. Mark lea was an eyewitness. People were running trying to get away from him as he was walking in that area. I mean, he did not say a single word. He was emotionless. Reporter santiago surrendered by laying on the ground as a sheriffs approach him. From the moment the first shot was fired how long did it take your deputy who ended up encountering the gunman to get there . It was approximately 7080 seconds. Reporter back in november, santiago walked into an f. B. I. Field off in anchorage anchorag, saying yip was forcing him to watch terrorist videos. He was carrying a gun which he checked at the front desk. The f. B. I. Called local police, which had him committed for a mental evaluation. Santiagos brother, bryan, in puerto rico, says the former nargzs man got his gun back once he was released from the hospital the problem here is not that they committed him but that they only left him there for four days, says bryan, and then give him his weapon back . So one of the Big Questions now, was that weapon the same fun that was used in the mass shooting here at the airport. Fort Lauderdale International opened early this morning. Hundreds of flights were canceled but for these people who have been waiting in line for hours they appear lucky to get out tonight. There are 20,000 bags and other personal items that they still have to return to stranded passengers who are just waiting to get out of town. Ninan i imagine it will take some time. David begnaud in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks, david. Tonight, omar villafranca, is learning more about the victims. He also has one mans harrowing story of survival. A man ideal out, this guys got a gun. Get down. And then we all dropped to the floor. Reporter Steve Frappier had just arrived from atlanta when the suspected gunman started his rampage. Frappier dropped to the floor and watched from a few feet away as Esteban Santiago calmly walked through the baggage claim and shot travelers ducking for cover. The shooter, the entire time for the ordeal, never said a single word and he never and he was cool as a yo cucumber the entire time. Thats when i knew this guy this guys trained. Im on the ground and watching people 10 to 15 feet in front of me get hit in the head. Reporter Olga Wolterling was one of the people killed. She was a 48 greatgrandmother and celebrating her husbands 90th birthday. Her family released a statement saying 62yearold terry andres was also killed, a 12year volunteer with the Virginia Beach fire department, his colleagues said he was well liked and respected for both his dedication to being a volunteer, as well as his professional approach to his job as a support tech. We mourn his passing, as we do all the victims of the senseless attack this Fort Lauderdale. Frappier is lucky to be alive. During the chaos, he felt a small pinch on the square of his back under his backpack but didnt think anything of it. When he checked his bag, he found that a bullet had pierced his Apple Computer and was rolling around in his backpack. It was the laptop, the plastic casing, and the type of backpack that i had. The best thank you gift i ever got in my life. Reporter nine victims were admitted here for treme. Reena, one victim was released today. Ninan omar, thank you. The Fort Lauderdale shootings could reopen the debate on flying with firearms. Tony dokoupil has more on this story. Reporter flying with firearms is legal and routine in america. But this may be the first time an attacker checked his weapon before flying. And then used it to shoot people at his destination when he landed. The Transportation Security Agency allows firearms and ammunition in checked luggage only and strictly prohibits them in carryon bags. Federal agents confiscated a Record Number of guns at airport checkpoints in 2016, more than 3,3000, most of them loaded. What we decided to protect in america is the flight itself. Reporter ron hosko is former assistant director of the f. B. I. I think the airlines are recognizing that there are plenty of americans who want to protect themselves on the initial end or the far end of a trip, and that they shouldnt get in the way of that. Reporter checked weapons must be unloaded, locked in a hard container, and declared to the airline. Fridays shooting could reopen those rules for review or spur more investment in airport security. Florida is one of about five states to prohibit even licensed firearms inside airport terminals, but a month before fridays shooting air, Florida State senator, greg stuebe, filed a bill that would allow open carry in the baggage area, reena.
