he suspected shooter behind the rampage at a Florida Airport has been named as Esteban Santiago and was reportedly carrying military identification.
Senator Bill Nelson named Santiago on MSNBC, saying he was carrying military identification.
Santiago is reportedly 26 years old and appeared alone in the Terminal 2 baggage claim area wearing a Star Wars shirt.
He is from New Jersey, lived in Alaska for some time but was carrying a Florida driving licence and had a concealed carry permit for his gun, Fox News reported.
Witnesses say he appeared to randomly target his victims during the shooting spree which has left at at least five people dead and many more injured.
He was apprehended by authorities when he stopped shooting to reload, witnesses said.
He lay on the ground spread eagled when he surrendered to police.
Police then asked everyone not move and the man was led away.
Mark Lea, a financial adviser from Minneapolis, was in the baggage claim when, he said, a man came in and started shooting.
“I was dodging bullets and trying to help people get out of the way,” the 53-year-old said.
“At first we thought it was firecrackers.
