Quick Summary

Bodycam footage released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office shows the chaotic aftermath of a shooting at a Citibank office in Tampa, Florida, which occurred around 12pm on Wednesday. The video captures terrified employees fleeing and deputies entering the scene as one deputy radios that "the shooter is down." The incident resulted in two deaths, including an employee killed by the gunman before he was fatally shot by an armed guard. Four other individuals sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Initial reports suggest the suspect may have been a vendor rather than a Citibank employee, and the campus where the shooting took place houses approximately 3,200 people.

Story summary

As of November 4, 2026, two people were killed at a Citibank office complex near Tampa, Florida. The incident occurred when Jacob Pearson, aged 35, stormed the Citibank Center in Brandon and shot a female victim execution-style, killing her as she tried to escape. Shortly after noon, Pearson crashed his gray sedan into the campus before opening fire. The suspect was fatally shot by a security guard on-site. Authorities identified the deceased woman as LeAnne Selman, 41, who had been targeted specifically due to a delinquent $2,500 credit card bill and subsequent legal issues with Citibank. Pearson had called an attorney affiliated with Citibank earlier in the day, threatening violence if a court hearing over his debt wasn't canceled.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
