Discretion is advice.

This is 10 minute murder.

On January 6th, 2017, a man exited the bathroom near a baggage claim at the Fort Lauderdale

Hollywood International Airport in Broward County, Florida, and he opened fire.

He had a semi-automatic 9-millimeter handgun and two clips with him, and he emptied both

of these clips before he hit the ground, killing five and injuring six more people. In the absolute

chaos that broke out during the attack, another 36 people were injured, trying to escape the

stampeding crowds who were dashing for exits

and looking for cover. The shooting was a terrifying shock for the whole country, and perhaps even more

so for the family and friends of Esteban Santiago Ruiz. Estabon was born on March 16th, 1990 in New Jersey, but he and his family

moved to Puerto Rico when he was only two years old. He spent most of his life there and even

joined the Puerto Rico National Guard. He was quiet, but well respected. His neighbors used to

salute him when they passed him on the streets.

In 2010, Esteban was deployed to Iraq as a combat engineer, where he cleared roadside

bombs and repaired bridges.

But he returned from service a changed man.

The sudden and drastic change in his demeanor reportedly stemmed from the

time he watched a bomb go off near two of his friends in Iraq, an event that those who knew Esteban

said stayed with him long after he'd come home. In 2014, he seemed to get a much-needed fresh start when he and his brother moved to

Anchorage, Alaska. Esteban joined the National Guard there, and he even met a woman and had a

child together. When Esteban's brother moved away from Anchorage, Estabon was a new father

and lived in a small but nice apartment with his young family.
