TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 A gunman plowed a car into a courtyard on Citibank\u2019s sprawling Tampa business campus on Wednesday and opened fire with a rifle, killing a woman before a security guard fatally shot him, authorities said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office did not give a motive for the shooting or say whether the gunman and his lone victim knew each other.
The attack sent workers scrambling as the suspect crashed his car among outdoor tables where people were eating lunch, then started shooting, said Chief Deputy Frank Losat of the sheriff\u2019s office. He said 3,200 people were on the campus at work during the attack.
The gunman fatally shot the woman before a security guard confronted him in a cafeteria, Losat said. The guard and the gunman exchanged fire, and the guard killed him, Losat said.
\u201cWas there a potential for further violence? Absolutely,\u201d Losat told a news conference. \u201cSo kudos to that security guard.\u201d
The names of the gunman and the woman killed were not immediately released.
Losat said four other people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He didn\u2019t know whether any of them had been shot or struck by the gunman\u2019s vehicle.
The Citibank campus in suburban Tampa includes four three-story office buildings that house thousands of the banking giant\u2019s employees.
David Dzien, a Citibank vice president, told The Associated Press he was returning to work after lunch when he saw the shooter\u2019s sedan crash through a fence about 150 yards (137 meters) away from him, followed by an \u201cincredible clatter\u201d that he later realized was gunfire.
People near the crashed car suddenly dispersed and others began to scream, Dzien said, as he sprinted back into the building and evacuated through a fire escape.
\u201cI can still hear the particular type of scream,\u201d he said, \u201cand I\u2019m still trying to process it, frankly.\u201d
The attack occurred on a day when \u201cVIPs\u201d who don\u2019t normally work at the complex were present for a \u201cquarterly review,\u201d Dzien said.
Sheriff\u2019s deputies began arriving at the campus within a minute of the first 911 call, Losat said. The response was huge, with more than 360 deputies \u2014 many in tactical gear \u2014 rushing to the scene.
Those deputies spent 2 1\/2 hours searching and clearing the building where the shootings occurred plus adjacent office buildings, Losat said.
Radio traffic on Broadcastify.com from responding officers described an exhaustive floor-by-floor search as people were found sheltering in locked rooms and closets, then carefully escorted from the buildings and parking garage.
Citigroup said in a statement that it was \u201caware of an incident\u201d at the complex and was cooperating with authorities.
Employees at the Sheraton Tampa Brandon Hotel, a few hundred feet from the Citibank complex, were having a monthly employee luncheon in the hotel\u2019s ballroom when they saw a massive flood of police vehicles headed toward the campus.
General Manager Matt Chauvin said Citibank employees ran over and told the front desk there was an active shooter.
\u201cWe at first locked the doors and, you know, went into lockdown, but the employees kept coming over,\u201d Chauvin said.
Chauvin estimated the hotel sheltered about 300 Citibank workers. Hotel staff gave them water and lunch, and let some go into hotel rooms \u201cto sort of decompress or make phone calls.\u201d
\u201cLuckily we were far enough away that they were all safe,\u201d he said.
