they've already been interviewing people in alaska.y'll interview the brothers in florida, the family members in puerto rico. they'll look through santiago's own communications, a thorough scrub of his social media, his computers, who he was e-mailing with. but trying to draw that line, how much of this is some mentally disturbed individual who sort of latched onto isis or how much was isis and the mental thing is an element of that. that will be hard to tease out, but that's what they'll have to try to figure out. >> it's going to be a long investigation, obviously, a lot of questions this morning. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams, thanks for that update. gabe gutierrez is outside the hospital in ft. lauderdale where dozens are being treated. gabe, give us an update on their condition. expected any releases today from some of those that remain in the hospital? >> reporter: good morning, ayman. a certain amount of people inside the hospital were discharged late yesterday. those with minor injuries. right now five people are de

or he could have gotten on alaska and hide a firearm. it depends on their security procedures are and x-raying every bag at that airport before they put it on. legally he could declare it and put it in the luggage, of course he could not legally take it in he was intended to murder people because that would be a crime intending to, you know, commit a felony while crossing state lines with a gun. but, you know, he might not have been intending to murder when he did, but just had access to it it. earlier there's some feeling of spontaneity, whether that holds true we'll just have to see. he was not suicidal, and that's a factor we have to look at here and the commanders have to look at, and i'm sure the fbi agent in charge and the terrorist task force looking at it as well. okay, why did he shoot this group of people at this baggage claim? targeting is always important. whether it's from someone suffering from mental illness or a terrorist or workplace violence who targets their employer or their fellow workers. targets is always important

he served in the national guard in puerto rico, missouri, and alaska. we're also learning he served overseas in iraq for a little over a year. >> thank you, boris. evan perez is in washington. stunning the news you broke that the gunman spoke to the fbi, went in their offices a couple months ago and told them he -- talked to them about isis. >> reporter: that's right, erin. the picture beginning to emerge is a man struggling with mental health issues and that is what happened a couple months ago when he showed up at the anchorage, alaska, fbi office and said that he was hearing voices. he said that the voices were saying including that he should join isis. this had aroused some concern among people around him so when he went to the fbi office, the fbi called the local authorities and they took him to a local hospital where he checked himself for a mental health evaluation. we don't know what happens after that. we don't know the result of the mental health checks but that's the only significant interaction that law enforcement had with this suspect. he

really the way to stop this case is in alaska, not in ft. laerdale when he has his finger on the trigger. you know, dara, he shot all those people in 45 seconds. the deputy was on top of him in there in the scene in 0 seconds. that's a minute and ten seconds. you don't get a faster police response than that. it's hard to stop the guy once he's on the trigger in the crowd. the place to interrupt the killing is back in alaska when we know he has mental health issues. he's delusional. he's talking about watching isis videos, which that's going to urge you to kill. he's got psychiatric problems. has he a gun. that's the place to stop him. you need the laws to stop him there. >> jim cavanaugh, thanks so much for your input on this. great having you here this morning. >> thanks, dara. >>> we have pictures coming from jerusalem. israeli police say a truck ran into a group of soldiers at a popular promenade. fifteen people reported injured, two critically. police say the driver has been killed. you can see those are live pictures from jerusalem. we

his brother says here in alaska he got in several fights.was working as a security guard after he was discharged from the alaska national guard for issues with performance. and then at some point last year, november, he went to the fbi headquarters in anchorage, walked in, asking to talk to fbi agents and here's what he told them. take a listen. >> the individual did walk into our anchorage office in november. he came in and spoke with fbi agents at that time. he clearly stated that he did not intend to arm anyone. however, his erratic behavior concerned fbi agents that were interviewing him and they contacted local police and turned him over to local police. he was taken into custody by the local police and transported to a medical facility for a mental health evaluation. >> reporter: as you heard pete williams reporting he told -- our sources are saying he told investigators that he was hearing voices and that he believed that his mind was being controlled by the cia and he was being told to watch isis videos. we do know a little bit more

he had flown to fort lauderdale on delta airlines from alaska, via minneapolis. local official says he removed the weapon from a case that he had checked. federal sources tell us that two months ago, santiago walked into an alaska f.b.i. office, and the agents there were so concerned about what he was saying, they sent him to a mental hospital. david begnaud is in fort lauderdale and begins our coverage. th reporter: this cell phone video captures the moments after laots rang out at the baggage claim area in terminal number 2 of the fort lauderdale international airport. a lone gunman opened fire on passengers, leaving five people iad and eight injured. some of the wounded found shelter outside while they waited for help. n ndreds more ran for safety onto the tarmac and airport roads, taking shelter near cars and up against buildings. >> everybody took off, and they said-- >> they said a shooter. i mean-- >> reporter: eyewitness mark lea eps 10 feet away from the gunman. >> he, like i say, just walked into the door, did not yell, did not scream, just started shoo

do we know that, if he hails from alaska or once lived in alaska. very little that we know about him. have you heard of any florida connections yet? >> i haven't up to this point. one of the things about it, his name is not necessarily rare. esteban is very common in spanish. so his last name, santiago, is common, too. so if you did a public search, it would take time to narrow it down. he is on the passenger manifest and be quicker for law enforcement. at that point, the work is ongoing. i want to be cautious. i don't want to go further than what they've gone in term of making revelations. i have not heard anything in the media other than what they told me so far. >> senator, i'd be remiss if i didn't mention the intel report that came out now being shared with the media today and with americans that vladimir putin did indeed have a role and aspired to influence the election. whether that tipped it to donald trump, there's no way of knowing. what do you make of that and mr. trump who had a chance to be briefed on the same matter confirmed that russ

after he showed up at the fbi office in anchorage, alaska. after that, we don't know what happens next. we know that he did get on a flight from alaska and was -- flew into ft. lauderdale today. earlier we i think mistakenly said he had come through canada, but i think partly because of some of his initial interviews and statements to investigators, in which he indicated that he had come from canada. we now know that he, indeed, had come from alaska, had flown into ft. lauderdale airport earlier today, before he started carrying out this shooting. again, mental health issues is the picture that's emerging here from this suspect. >> that's right. i heard similar from u.s. officials earlier. evan perez, thanks very much. tom fuentes with me in washington and phil mudd still on the line. tom, as you listen to that, we're beginning to get a clearer picture perhaps of the suspect and the shooting. >> it could be serious mental health problems. we don't know the cause of it. you know, we've had other incidents where somebody severely mentally ill d

this is santiago's brother, brian. >> he went to the fbi offices in alaska, anchorage, alaska, to explain them what he was seeing, the voices he was hearing, that the government was writing to him in secret code for him to do certain things. it is their fault because they are people who never go to the government to ask for help. when a barbaric act like this happens and when they evaluate them, the psychologists and psychiatrists understand there might is not well. what more than a person and went ahead of time to explain the situation? they knew it was going to happen. amy: esteban santiago also has a history of domestic violence. last january, santiago's then-girlfriend told prosecutors he threatened her, broke down the bathroom door where she was hiding, then hit and strangled her. he was later arrested and released on the condition he'd avoid all contact with the victim -- terms he later violated. friday's shooting came as lawmakers in florida were preparing to consider legislation that would loosen prohibitions on firearms in florida by eliminating some of the state's gun-free z zon

because it does remind us how the unique challenges that alaska has. i would just say that i can assure you that if confirmed, that i will support alaska in its approach to educating its youngsters, and that i have to say i think that the creativity and innovation that alaska has employed through the traditional public system is one that other states could probably take note of and learn some lessons from and would hope they would continue to feel that freedom and that drive to continue to educate and innovate. >> we are quite proud of some of the innovation we have made. we have a great deal of choice within our urban centers. for my colleagues education and edification. anchorage hosts six of the most ethnically diverse schools in the united states of america. so i have that level of diversity. but then i have rural villages where i may have no more than 60 kids in a school, and in order for them to have the same benefits and opportunities, the dollars that flow, the commitment that flows to those families, there is that level of accountability throu
