Eastern time. This cell phone video shows panicked passengers. The shooter killed five people and injured eight others. What happened over there . I dont know. I heard a lady yell for help, then i just saw people running, and i just ran. We were just minding our own business waiting for Ground Transportation and the shooting started in this building and immediately was mass kayo people running by. It was hard to decipher what was happening. Reporter hundreds of passengers deboarded planes on the tarmac or took cover as the wounded were rushed to ambulances but the gunman remained unharmed. Whoever is responsible will be held accountable to the full extent of the law. The state of florida and the Law Enforcement in this state will not tolerate evil acts. Reporter he boarded a flight in anchorage, alaska, stood in minneapolis before landing in ft. Lauderdale. After he landed he went to the bathroom, loaded the gun, and started shooting people. Santiago was born in n c but moved to alaska two years ago, according to his brother. He was an Army National guard veteran who served a year in iraq but came home with psychological problems for which he was receiving treatment. If we do uncover sometime that this was related to any type of terrorist activity, then the fbi will have complete incident command of this, and we will be assisting the fbi as we move forward with the investigation. Authorities have now released the identities of the victims but the family of one man from Virginia Beach confirmed his death saying he was in florida on vacation. At this point everyone who was taken to the hospital is alive and recovering but that airport in ft. Lauderdale remains closed. Happening now, major chase at San FranciscoInternational Airport for flights headed to ft. Lauderdale which is still closed. The airport there. This is a picture of sfo where several passengers are waiting for word about the status of their flight. Passengers are also weighing in on airport sciernt light of todays shooting. Tom vacar has more from sfo. Reporter take a look. The 1027 on jetblue to ft. Lauderdale is not only delayed, it is canceled. So those folks when they come up are going to be mightily disappointed. The shootings occurred in a baggage claim area. Almost always a publicly act sibles place just as these ticket counters are, before security screening. Sought raises a question, should security now be moved to the front of airports. I feel that you cant take away these liberties. Theres a lot of security, and its really nice to come in and say goodbye to your loved ones or have some time to walk around before you go through security. So i feel like we cant give any more to these rogue people who might be terrorists or just acting on their own. I think an event like this certainly reinvigorates that type of discussion. Its not a decision that we as an airport would make independently. Its a discussion we would have with our Law Enforcement experts. They are the ones that are the source of the best information in terms of what measures we need to apply. Reporter depending on the day of the week, jetblue, Virgin America and united run four to five nonstops to and from ft. Lauderdale. Though it is a much smaller facility, the same safety precautions and rules apply to all commercial passenger airports. So were really in the process of gathering information as to what has occurred, how it occurred, and more importantly, what at our airport we need to do about it. Any time an event like this happens in the u. S. Or around the world, we immediately begin a process of gathering information of assessing the incident, because always what were doing is were asking ourselves a question, do we have the right measures in place here. Now consider, if security was moved to the airport entrance of u. S. Airports to the door, serious consideration would have to be given to screening not just passengers but nonpassengers as well, allowing those what meet, greet, and say good bye to meet at that time gate. Reporting links tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news where the 1027 Jetblue Airline hear been canceled to ft. Lauderdale. Tom, thank you. According to the tsa, Airline Passengers must put any weapons in their checked baggage, which was apparently the dance in florida shooting. The firearms or ammunition must be declared to the air line. The gun must be unloaded and locked in a hard sided container. The tsa also tells travelers to make sure they are in compliance with local and state gun laws. Ktvus ross palombo is here. You just flew out of that airport a couple of days ago. We know the baggage area at sfo is huge. What is it like there at ft. Lauderdale . Because you were right there. Yeah, where tom was at sfo, those baggage carrousels are so high, they come up out of the ground, about this high. But at fll, ft. Lauderdalehollywood International Airport, the baggage carrousel is only about two inches off the ground. So someone is shooting in that area, there is nowhere to run no, where to hide. It is a cavernous space with really nothing but these conveyor belts on the ground. Very terrifying. But the fact that it took plaps baggage claim, people sore preoccupied with getting their luggage that if someone were to come up it would be a complete surprise. I spoke to several people who work in that airport. I still have a home just a few miles away from that airport. Thats why i was back there a few days ago. Port everglades where you take cruise these go to the caribbean are just about a mile away so most people are coming off their flights wearing shorts and flipflops. Theyre laughing, not thinking about security or anything like that. Its a very casual atmosphere. Very surprising in that baggage carrousel area. Its kind of the difference between when you go to sfo, when you go to newark, when you go to laguardia or jfk, your guard is up because those are the main airports where if something is going to happen you generally think it is going to happen at one of those major airports like that. Ft. Lauderdale is not the case. Exactly. Think of it like this. Sfo compared to oakland. Oakland gets 11 million passengers. Ft. Lauderdale gets about 28 million. Its pretty big. Its still the 14th Largest International gateway in the country, but compared to m. I. A. , is like ten times that talking about miami. Yeah, miami. Its a smaller area. People go to ft. Lauderdale because they want a quieter experience. Many people do believe it is safer because it is in a more suburban typesetting. So i am imagine that atmosphere. You are going on vacation, its quiet, and this breaks out. When you were talking to people on the phone what were they like . Theyre for exampled because that is a calm place. People know each other there. When you go as a journalist to fll to cover a story you know everyone. You know those people. Theyre quick to recognize you. Its a smaller place. When you go to m. I. A. , you might see a few, but its crazy. Hustle and bustle. But at fll everyone knows everyone. Its a more intimate environment. They are rattled. The sound coming out of the airport from people who were there, being told, take cover, i heard one gentleman, he told his daughter, his wife, his motherinlaw, stay down. They said that all of the vendors were pulling down the gates, telling people to come in and telling them where to hide. I was listening to one interview of a guy, he was standing there, and the person standing right next to him falls to the ground. I cant stress enough that there was really nowhere to run or hide. Theres no luggage carrousel to hide behind. Then when you run outside, everything is surrounding the parking lot. Remember later there was suspicion that something happened. All the terminals wrap around that parking lot. So here you are in a small area, the parking lot is in the middle of everything. Thats why you saw people running like crazy on the tarmac in different directions. They simply didnt know where to go and had no place to hide. Just horrible. Its happened again. Five more people killed, eight others wounded. Thanks ross. On ktvu. Com will you find the very latest on the deadly shooting at the ft. Lauderdale airport.
