An active shooter was reported at the Fort Lauderdale, Florida Airport (FLL), and there were a total of thirteen victims, including five that are reportedly deceased, authorities said, according to NBC New York.
The suspect, 26-year-old Esteban Santiago of New Jersey, appeared to be firing multiple shots at random, NBC New York reported.
A video of the aftermath of the tragedy can be seen above, and other videos and reactions are published below.
Heavy spoke with a passenger, Lindsey Totten, who was already aboard a plane at the airport when the chaos ensued. Thankful to be alive, she stated the following:
We were sitting in the plane for what felt like almost an hour and about 40 minutes into waiting I received a call from a panicked friend and I had no clue what was going on. He let me know and then a few minutes later I saw the live feed that the person sitting in front of me was watching.
It’s a terrible crime, and I feel lucky that I wasn’t around that terminal during that time. I am praying for the families of the victims and those who I’m sure are completely traumatized by what happened today.

Maybe here is reason?
Just FYI the Instagram above is not his. If you Facebook the name and find the one in Puerto Rico the kid whose Instagram it is has posted all morning. Saying that obviously it isn’t him.
Thank you! It has been fixed.
