An armed security guard employed by Citibank was praised by authorities for killing a gunman who attacked the Citibank Center in Tampa, Florida. The suspect drove a vehicle through a fence into an outdoor seating area, fatally shot a woman, and then opened fire inside a cafeteria before being engaged by the guard. Four other individuals sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the incident, which occurred while approximately 3,200 employees were on the property. Law enforcement, including 367 officers, responded quickly, and the FBI and ATF joined the investigation. Citibank confirmed coordination with police, and investigators are currently working to determine the suspect's motive.
