FLL Shooting Suspect Expected To Enter Plea Deal

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) _ The suspect in the South Florida airport shooting spree in which five people were killed and six were wounded is scheduled to enter a plea.    


An arraignment is set Monday morning in federal court for 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, who's charged in a 22-count federal indictment in the Jan. 6 shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.   


 He's charged with causing death or bodily harm at an international airport, causing death during a crime of violence and using a firearm during a crime of violence. Santiago could face the death penalty if convicted.    

The FBI says Santiago flew from Anchorage, Alaska, to Fort Lauderdale with a handgun in a case in checked luggage. Authorities say he loaded the gun in a bathroom and came out firing in a baggage claim area.
