Tampa Sheriff Releases Bodycam Video of Citibank Shooter

Hillsborough County deputies arrived at the Sabal Center in Tampa within one minute of dispatchers receiving the first reports of gunfire on Wednesday at 12:11 p.m. The rapid response led to a chaotic scene inside a Citibank campus, where a suspect crashed a vehicle through a fence and opened fire, killing a woman before being shot by a security guard.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office released edited body camera footage and 911 audio recordings today. The video shows officers rushing onto the sprawling business campus as a deputy asks bystanders for a description of the suspect. The officer reports that a vehicle has crashed into the property and that the shooter is located inside the cafeteria.

According to authorities, the suspect drove through a fence at the Sabal Park Office Development and crashed into an outdoor seating area. He fatally shot a woman there before moving into the building's cafeteria to open fire. During the exchange, an armed Citibank security guard returned fire and hit the suspect. An officer on the scene later announced, "Shooter is down," as deputies began escorting people out of the building.

The sheriff's office stated that more than 3,200 people were on the campus when the shooting occurred. Over 400 law enforcement personnel responded to the incident, including 367 sheriff's deputies. The gunman was transported to Tampa General Hospital and pronounced dead there.

Sheriff Chad Chronister praised the security team and the deputies in a statement. "Thanks to the brave actions by the security team on-site and more than 365 deputies, this unhinged suspect was stopped before he could harm anyone else," Chronister said.

The 911 audio captures a caller reporting gunfire at Citibank while coordinators plan entry into the building. The release of this footage follows the fatal shooting that disrupted the busy business park earlier this week.
