Additionally, the AP noted that according to a  military spokeswoman Santiago received a general discharge from the Alaska Army National Guard last year for unsatisfactory performance.

Meanwhile, authorities are looking into what event may have set off the unstable Santiago.

Law enforcement sources said the suspected gunman in a deadly attack at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport got into an argument during his flight from Alaska to Florida. They’re now investigating whether that’s what set off a shooting rampage CBS reports.

It is believed that he shot people who were on the plane with him.

Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, 26, took a flight from Alaska to Florida Friday with a stop in Minnesota, officials said. Somewhere along the way, he got into an argument.

According to Broward Commissioner Chip LaMarca, Santiago-Ruiz arrived from a flight with a gun that he checked in. “He claimed his bag and took the gun from baggage and went into the bathroom to load it. Came out shooting people in baggage claim,” LaMarca said.

When he was done shooting, he lay spread-eagle waiting for police, one eyewitness reported.

WESearchr posted a tweet of a man who looks like Santiago and they say he was downloading Islamic jihadi videos in 2007 when he was 17 years of age.

Other reports say he has reported hearing voices.
