Ft. Lauderdale Florida –
Tonight there are many more questions than answers concerning the actions of Estaban Santiago-Ruiz and his murderous rampage today at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport.
We know that the 26 year old New Jersey native served in the Army Reserve and the National Guard (in Puerto Rico and Alaska). We know that he served in Iraq from April 2010 until February 2011 and was discharged honorably four months ago for unsatisfactory performance. We know that he received a Combat Action Badge during his tour as a combat engineer.
We also know that Santiago had several run ins with local and federal law enforcement. He was arrested and charged with domestic violence when he allegedly threatened and choked his girlfriend.
He was also being investigated for something related to child porn and that several weapons were seized along with a computer.
And finally, he had visited the FBI in Anchorage Alaska where he told agents that he was hearing voices that were telling him to join ISIS.
But he was not on anyone’s watch list.
Apparently none of this was enough to stop Santiago from buying a ticket on Delta Airlines from Anchorage to Ft. Lauderdale. It didn’t stop him from declaring and checking a firearm and ammunition with his checked luggage in accordance with FAA and TSA regulations. It did not stop him from claiming his weapon and ammunition and using the airport bathroom to prepare for his killing spree.
Thirteen travelers shot, five dead and Santiago taken without law enforcement having to fire a shot.
So many questions. So few answers.
