Thread: Breaking FLL Lockdown. Shooting

Update....
Many images flashed across social media as more information of the shooting, which also saw eight people injured and taken the hospital, but many of the images have been panned as not showing Santiago.
The site posted that it is “99%” sure that two other pictures supposedly of Santiago are not of him, and the one shown above is a 26-year-old from Alaska.

There are at least 2 pictures of #EstebanSantiago that we are 99% certain ARE NOT him. The one we identified is 26-year-old from AK.

Earlier reports said Santiago was from the New York area, however, ABC News is reporting Santiago was not only a member of the National Guard but was also based in Alaska before leaving in August. He was reportedly honorably discharged.

Per Alaska National Guard: Esteban Santiago was a member of the Alaska Army National Guard. Left in August 2016. #FortLauderdale
