\"Esteban<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Esteban Santiago, flew into Ft Lauderdale airport on a connecting flight from Minneapolis on his way from Anchorage, Alaska where he’s been living recently. The former Puerto Rico National Guardsman, who had recently been discharged with a General Under Honorable conditions discharge, then took a firearm out of his checked luggage and the ammunition, charged the weapon and began shooting the people who were waiting or their own luggage. He killed 5 and wounded eight people.<\/p>\n

According to Heavy<\/a>, Santiago had walked into an FBI office in Anchorage and told the agents that voices in his head were urging him to support ISIS.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the FBI contact came in November 2016, when Santiago walked into an FBI office in Anchorage and told agents he was being forced to fight for ISIS. He was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility after police were called there. \u201cHe also said his mind was being controlled by the CIA to watch ISIS videos,\u201d reported CBS News.<\/p>\n

One of CNN\u2019s experts suggested on television that some have interpreted the hand signal in the above photo as potentially being an \u201cISIS finger sign,\u201d although that is far from proven. A 2014 report said ISIS fighters were \u201cnow using a single, raised index finger as the symbol of their cause\u201d that refers to the tawhid, \u201cthe belief in the oneness of God and a key component of the Muslim religion.\u201d Again, this is far from clear in Santiago\u2019s case, and his finger signal could mean something else entirely.<\/p>\n

Piro confirmed the FBI contact. He said in the news conference that Santiago came in voluntarily and spoke with FBI agents. \u201cHe (Santiago) clearly stated he did not intend to harm anybody. However, his erratic behavior concerned FBI agents who were interviewing him\u2026 he was taken into custody by the local police and taken to a medical facility for a mental health evaluation,\u201d Piro said. \u201cWe looked at his contacts and did our inter agency checks and at that point\u201d the case was closed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet, he was still in possession of a firearm. And his family is blaming his behavior on his deployment to Iraq. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
