His flight departed Anchorage, stopped over in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and finally arrived in Fort Lauderdale, sources told NBC. Earlier reports he flew through Canada turned out to be false. CBS News gave his name as Esteban Santiago-Ruiz; in Alaska, he worked for a security company, CNN reported.Eyewitnesses described a horrific scene in which the gunman emerged from a bathroom and randomly executed people waiting for their luggage by shooting them in the head, with “no rhyme nor reason to it,” according to NBC News. He fired through luggage and at people who were hiding, an eyewitness told the network. The Florida governor called the attack “evil” and “disgusting” on CNN. An eyewitness told WCCO-TV in Minneapolis that the calm and silent shooter acted like he was in the woods going to target practice but he was “using people as his target.”In addition to the five deaths, eight people went to the hospital with wounds and five of those are in stable condition, reported CNN.A U.S. senator, Bill Nelson, first gave the suspect’s name out live on MSNBC. The Broward County sheriff confirmed the suspect’s name in a news conference in the evening. The Sheriff’s Department said 37 people also suffered non life-threatening injuries in the evacuation process and panic after the mass shooting.Esteban Santiago, a U.S. citizen and Iraq War combat veteran, told the FBI voices were urging him to fight for ISIS before he allegedly gunned down 13 people, killing five, at a Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport baggage claim carousel.The shooter – whose troubled behavior had already drawn the attention of the FBI, Army, and Anchorage police – arrived Friday afternoon at the busy airport on a flight from Alaska, with the gun used in the shooting properly stored in his checked baggage, NBC News reports.One report said the shooter, who lived in Alaska, had no other luggage but the gun, which federal rules allow a person to declare at a ticket counter and check under the plane but not carry on.
