The 26-year-old man who killed five people and injured six more in a shooting at Ford Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport earlier this month told authorities the attack was inspired by ISIS.
During Esteban Ruiz Santiago’s bond hearing Tuesday, FBI agents testified that the military veteran said he spoke with other jihadis online before the shooting, Business Insider reports.
What’s unclear is whether he was working directly with ISIS.
FBI special agent Michael Ferlazzo said Santiago maintained he was under some form of government control.
If convicted, Santiago could face the death penalty.
