Fatal Victims: Mary Louise Amzibel, Michael John Oehme, Olga M . Woltering, Shirley Wells Timmons and Terry Michael Andres. RIP.
The indictment includes five counts of "violence at a international airport resulting in death," as well as numerous weapons charges for allegedly firing a Walther 9-millimeter pistol.
U.S. law specifically prohibits, and specifies federal jurisdiction over, the unauthorized use of weapons inside an international civilian airport. The provision was part of the massive Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.
Santiago is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on Jan. 30, according to a press release by the Department of Justice.
