The gunman then proceeded to the baggage claim area on a lower floor in Terminal 2 to pick up his bags.

Federal guidelines allow certain unloaded weapons to be checked in a locked case. They also allow the ammunition to be checked in baggage.

Some reports say after Santiago ran out of ammunition he simply laid down in the floor and waited for officials to arrive. No motives for the shooting have been released.
