Federal prosecutors filed court documents on Saturday charging Ft. Lauderdale airport shooting suspect Esteban Santiago with carrying out an act of violence at an international airport resulting in death – a charge which carries a maximum punishment of the death penalty. The 26-year-old Iraq war veteran, who claimed he was “mind-controlled” by a US intelligence agency, was also charged with two firearms offenses. He is accused of killing five people and wounding six others on Friday when he opened fire at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International baggage claim.
“Today’s charges represent the gravity of the situation and reflect the commitment of federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel to continually protect the community and prosecute those who target our residents and visitors,” U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said.
