Esteban Santiago was born in New Jersey making his a U.S. citizen. He is also an Iraq War combat veteran. Before he shot 11 people, killing five, at a Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport baggage claim, he pleaded with the FBI for help because he said he was hearing voices in his head that were urging him to fight for ISIS.
Santiago, 26, was on the FBI radar, however, they were unable to stop him from jumping on a flight from Alaska, with the gun in his checked baggage, which he then used to create death and destruction.
Santiago is a former U.S. Army Reservist, born in New Jersey, according to NBC News. The account that Santiago may have heard voices telling him to fight for ISIS – a story he allegedly gave to the FBI at the time – came from CNN.
In addition to the five deaths, six people went to the hospital with wounds. Initial estimates of eight injured were downgraded to six.
On a side note, Political website, The Gateway Pundit reported that CNN altered a photograph of the cold-blooded killer to make him appear more white.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this horrible and heinous crime.
