MOTIVE? – AT 11:52 A.M. ET:  As Lt. Joe Kenda (Investigation Discovery – "Homicide Hunter") likes to say, "My, my, my."  Do we have a motive, or at least an inspiration, for yesterday's shootings at Fort Lauderdale?  From the Daily Mail: 

A photo of Florida airport gunman Esteban Santiago appears to show him making a jihadist one-fingered salute while wearing a Mid-Eastern keffiyeh sometime prior to him carrying out the shooting massacre.

The 26-year-old Iraq war veteran was pictured in the photo gesturing with his index finger in a pose that has become notorious among supporters of the Islamic State.

Law enforcement officers are currently looking at whether Santiago had any links to ISIS or if he was mentally disturbed as part of their investigation into the deaths of five people in the baggage claim hall at Ft. Lauderdale airport on Friday.

FBI officials said late on Friday night they had not ruled out terrorism and were investigating all angles as they try to determine a motive for the shooting spree.

It was not immediately clear where or when the photo of Santiago was taken in which he appears to be making the jihadist salute.

The traditional Islamic gesture - which refers to the tawhid or 'the belief in the oneness of God' - has been widely adopted by Islamic State supporters.

Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posed in a similar stance in front of an Islamic flag in his bedroom.

COMMENT:  Now, of course, the Obama administration, in its last days, might just label this "baggage carousel violence," but look at the picture on the Daily Mail story that we link.  Pretty chilling, in my view, unless this dude has strange tastes in fashion and finger usage. 

Looks like what is impolitely called a "lone wolf."
