A shooting at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida has killed five people, according to local officials.

Broward County Sheriff's Office said eight people were also injured in the shooting, and the suspected gunman has been taken into custody.

The city's mayor has said that a lone gunman was responsible for the attack, and emergency services were called to the scene just before 1pm local time (6pm UK time).

On Twitter, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport said the shooting had happened in the baggage claim area of terminal two.

Reports suggest that terminal one is now being evacuated, with aerial footage showing people running across the tarmac to get away from the building.

All flights have been temporarily suspended, but planes within 50 miles of the airport are being given permission to land.

Key US-Canada border crossing reopens after bomb threat

One of the busiest border crossings between Canada and the United States reopened Friday, after authorities after being evacuated following a bomb threat, Canadian officials said. Canadian border services agency said in a tweet that they reopened the Saint Bernard de Lacolle POE Highway 15 in Quebec, after a nearly four hour interruption. The Saint Bernard de Lacolle checkpoint sits about 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Montreal on the border between Quebec province and the US state of New York. Passage in both directions had been blocked shortly after 9:00 am (1400 GMT) following a "threatening telephone call aimed at customs," according to Ingrid Asselin of Quebec's national police agency.

SUSPECT WANDERED INTO FBI OFFICE IN NOVEMBER 2016, CLAIMING "HE WAS FORCED TO FIGHT FOR ISIS"

Police were able to apprehend the suspect without having to fire their own weapons when he apparently ran out of bullets.

Law enforcement said he was found with an active military ID and is an American citizen, born in New Jersey. Previous known addresses include Penuelas, Puerto Rico and Anchorage, Alaska.

They add that in November 2016, he walked into an FBI office in Anchorage claiming that he was being forced to fight for ISIS. He was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

In 2011 or 2012, he was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations for child porn. Three weapons and a computer were seized, but there was not enough evidence to prosecute, according to law enforcement sources.

Iraq War veteran, 26, who 'argued with passengers' before taking gun from luggage and executing five in baggage hall - as it's revealed he was treated at mental hospital after telling FBI he was forced to fight for ISIS

Five people are dead and at least eight people injured after a shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida. Gunman Esteban Santiago, a 26-year-old Iraq veteran, opened fire in the airport's baggage claim area of Terminal 2 around 1pm on Friday. Santiago flew into the airport from Anchorage, Alaska (with a layover in Minneapolis, St. Paul) on Delta flight 2182, and checked a gun in his luggage for the flight. After claiming his bag, he loaded the handgun in a bathroom and then opened fire in the baggage claim area. Santiago is believed to have had a history of mental problems. Sources have told CBS news that Santiago walked into an FBI office in Anchorage in November last year claiming he was being forced to fight for ISIS. After that incident, Santiago started getting treatment for his mental health issues. His brother speculated that Santiago may have suffered a 'flashback' from his time in Iraq, despite not being diagnosed with PTSD. He was deployed to Iraq for one year in 2010. He received a general discharge for unsatisfactory performance from the Army National Guard in August last year. The motive for the shooting is still not known, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told CNN that Santiago may have gotten into an altercation on his flight earlier that morning. Authorities say Santiago was acting alone. Santiago lived in Anchorage, Alaska from 2014 to 2016, where his girlfriend and child continue to live. His aunty said Santiago had returned from Iraq acting strangely but had seemed happy since the birth of his child last year.

Esteban Santiago and the ISIS one-fingered salute: How Ft.Lauderdale shooting suspect made jihadi gesture in photo as authorities investigate his obsession with terror group

Suspected Florida airport gunman Esteban Santiago (left), 26, has been pictured appearing to make a one-fingered salute that has become notorious among supporters of the Islamic State. The same pose has been used by Mevlüt Mert Altintas (main), the ISIS fanatic who shot dead Russian ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov (right), as well as Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. 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.

Ex-soldier, who claims ISIS 'controls his mind', is held for killing five in Fort Lauderdale airport attack after it's revealed he went AWOL during military service and was probed over child porn

Esteban Santiago (pictured left being taken to jail and inset in a mugshot), a 26-year-old Iraq war veteran, was taken Saturday to Broward County Jail, where he is held on suspicion of murder after the shooting that left five dead and six injured. Police believe he flew out of Anchorage, Alaska on a 9:52 pm Delta flight and checked his gun during the flight. Santiago loaded his gun in the airport bathroom before silently shooting victims in the baggage claim area in Terminal 2 on Friday about 1 pm, officials said. The Army vet was getting psychological treatment, according to his brother. He allegedly told officers ISIS was controlling his mind and the CIA was forcing him to watch videos of the terror group. His family also said the captured man had been acting strangely after returning from Iraq. FBI investigators have not ruled out terrorism as a reason for the attack, a special agent at the bureau's office in Miami said Saturday. They were set to pursue 'every angle' to try to determine the motive behind the deadly attack. Civilians were caught on camera fleeing from the gunman when he opened fire in the heinous assault, pictured top and bottom right.
