"You know, the strange thing is that a foreign-sounding, very intense man called in to Rush's show earlier this afternoon, and talked to Mark Steyn, who was guest hosting. The caller was from Canada, and he said that what the US needed to fear right now was what would be coming into the US from Canada, given the large number of Muslims who had just been admitted into that country. Interesting coincidence. Or was it? "

NBC News reported that the shooter’s family is from Puerto Rico, and he served in National Guard and signed up in August 2016. “He signed up on that just a few months ago…He was not on any active duty,” NBC News reported
Pete Williams of NBC News reported that the shooter allegedly “had mental health issues, and reported hearing voices.”
~~~He signed up for Alaska's Air National Guard in August of 2016, and was honorably discharged four months ago. So he was in for about a month, maybe less. Smells like he signed up to get some training, access to weapons and possibly ID. He had this planned for a long time. If that’s accurate he got kicked out for some non-judicial reason. Flunked basic training?
IOW, he’s a known screw up.Every article I’ve seen emphasizes his ties to the military.

It appears CNN doctored the photo to make the suspect look more white.
Sad.
Santiago was born in New Jersey, according to NBC News, and was a member of the U.S. Army National Guard. ABC News reports Santiago joined the National Guard in early 2016 and was honorably discharged approximately four months ago.
Santiago had lived in Anchorage since 2014, according to Alaskan court records. Those records show a criminal record there for minor traffic infractions including operating a vehicle without insurance and a broken taillight. Records also show his landlord evicted him for non-payment of rent in February 2015.
In January 2016, Santiago was charged with two misdemeanor crimes: one count of fourth-degree assault and another for damage of property over $50. According to a spokesperson from the Anchorage Police department the incident was related to domestic violence.
The case was resolved in March when Santiago entered into a deferred prosecution agreement, an alternative to adjudication where a state prosecutor dismissed the charges in exchange for Esteban’s completion of requirements that are unknown.

Santiago flew into the airport from Anchorage, Alaska (with a layover in Minneapolis, St. Paul), and checked a gun for the flight.
After claiming his bag, he loaded it in a bathroom and then opened fire on the baggage claim area, Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca said.
NBC News reports that Santiago had a history of mental problems, but had reportedly been getting treatment.
His most recent address was in Naples, but he lived in Anchorage from 2014 to 2016, where his girlfriend and child continue to live. He is also from New Jersey.
Santiago was a combat engineer in the Army National Guard, and served one year in Iraq before being honorably discharged last year, the Army Criminal Investigation Division confirmed.
The motive for the shooting is still not known, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told CNN that Santiago may have gotten into an altercation on his flight earlier that morning.
'I know that was mentioned as a potential cause and they wanted to kind of look into that a little further and get to that point,' Rubio said.
Sources also told ABC News that Santiago was contacted by the FBI after an employer back in Alaska raised concerns about certain things he had said. After that meeting, Santiago started getting treatment for his mental health issues.

Santiago was an Iraq war vet.

Santiago-Ruiz grew up in the southern coastal town of Penuelas in Puerto Rico, said his brother, Bryan Santiago. He joined Puerto Rico’s National Guard.
He was deployed to Iraq in 2010 and spent a year there with the 130th Engineer Battalion, the 1013th engineer company out of Aguadilla, according to Puerto Rico National Guard spokesman Maj. Paul Dahlen.
After his tour, he was hospitalized for mental problems, then went back to Puerto Rico, where his father was ill and eventually died, said Ruiz Rivera, his aunt.
While in Puerto Rico, Santiago-Ruiz was in therapy for his mental problems, his uncle said.
The Iraq War veteran eventually made his way to Alaska, where he fathered a baby born in September.
A spokeswoman for the Alaska Army National Guard said Santiago-Ruiz joined the Guard there in November 2014, but general discharge from the Alaska Army National Guard last year for unsatisfactory performance. Lt. Col. Candis Olmstead did not release details about the discharge, which was in August 2016.

So. PTSD is a factor.
Other reports say he was born in New Jersey, which would make him an American citizen, not Puerto Rican.
