Accused airport shooter Esteban Santiago pleads not guilty to 22 charges
By Paula McMahon

The Iraq war veteran charged with killing five people and injuring six others in a mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale's international airport pleaded not guilty to the allegations against him on Monday.
Esteban Santiago, 26, leaned over the wooden lectern in court and appeared to read along as U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Seltzer read the entire 17-page indictment aloud to him - including the names of the five people killed in the mass shooting.
Santiago replied "yes" after each of the 22 charges when Seltzer asked if he understood them.
Santiago appeared calm and spoke in the same monotone he has used in all of the prior hearings. He was handcuffed to a chain around his waist, shackled and wore a red jumpsuit with the words "Max Custody Inmate" in black letters on the back.
