As the investigation into the Fort Lauderdale airport mass murder continues, it's been revealed that...
-- Authorities now believe it was planned for some time. An in-flight altercation causing a rage shooting has been ruled out; motive still unknown.
-- The shooter's family believes that he is mentally ill as a result of combat in Iraq.
-- The shooter's brother says that he sought and received some help, but it wasn't enough.
-- Police were called to the home the shooter shared with his wife last January. He'd kicked in the bathroom door, punched and strangled his wife. He pleaded 'no contest' and was entered into a program instead of serving jail time.
-- Six (not eight, as originally reported) were wounded and hospitalized. They are still in the hospital; two in critical condition.
-- The shooter had his conceal-carry permitted handgun with him when he visited the FBI in Alaska two months ago and told them about the voices telling him to follow ISIS. He was taken to local LE and his gun was taken from him when he agreed to commit himself for mental health evaluation. He was released 4 days later and his gun was returned. Authorities believe it's the same 9mm Santiago used in the mass shooting.
TMZ published video of the first shots fired by Esteban Santiago in the baggage claim.
