A Citibank employee was shot and killed at a business complex in Florida on Wednesday, according to local authorities and company officials. Florida authorities said two people were dead, including a suspect, after witnesses reported a shooting at Citibank's business complex in the Tampa area. The sheriff's office said it was not immediately known whether anyone else was injured.
The gunman was shot by an armed Citibank security guard during an exchange of gunfire and was later pronounced dead at Tampa General Hospital. Sheriff Chad Chronister posted on X that authorities believe this is a targeted incident.
The first 911 calls about shots fired came in at 12:11 p.m., and deputies responded within one minute, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office said it responded to an active threat and was clearing the building. More than 360 deputies swarmed the Citibank campus, according to the sheriff's office. New 911 calls and bodycam video have been released in the case.
Citigroup said in a statement that it was aware of an incident at the complex and was cooperating with authorities. The Citibank campus in suburban Tampa includes four three-story office buildings that house thousands of employees.
