The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a shooting incident occurred at Citigroup's office building in Tampa, Florida, resulting in two deaths. The office said on social media that one victim and one suspect died. As of 13:30 local time, police were organizing personnel to evacuate the building and arrange for them to be reunited with their families. A spokesman for the sheriff's office confirmed that a shooting incident occurred at the scene. An eyewitness told local TV station WTSP that he was eating lunch when suddenly a car hit the restaurant and gunfire rang out at the same time. Another local report said that soon they saw a helicopter hovering over the sky, hundreds of workers gathered in the parking lot, and many were calling their phones. “We are aware of an incident affecting our Tampa, Florida office and are coordinating with law enforcement,” a Citigroup spokesperson said, but did not provide details. Citi has approximately 11,000 employees in Tampa and is an important hub for the bank's legal, compliance, and technical back-office functions.
