'Gun-free Zones'
[Esteban Santiago] got on a plane in Alaska flying from Alaska to Minnesota. In Minnesota he changed planes and flew from that state to Fort Lauderdale. Once he landed in Fort Lauderdale, he got the gun that he had checked in his baggage, went into a bathroom in the airport and loaded the gun, and then he came out of the bathroom, walking among fellow passengers until he eventually decided to fire the gun. Then he let loose 10 to 15 rounds of his weapon, killing five people in cold blood and wounding another six.
This whole incident bears the appearance of being planned and calculated.
But it is still unclear why he came to South Florida to do it.
A logical presumption would be that Santiago knew that the Fort Lauderdale airport is a gun-free zone. Gun-free zones are potential killing fields. It is a well established fact that murderer's looking for a high body count and very little, if any, resistance purposely select gun-free zones. The reasoning is obvious.
These days, gun-free zones are good places to stay out of.
