2 Dead, Including Suspect, After Shooting At Citibank Center: Hillsborough Sheriff

BRANDON, FL — One person was killed and the suspect is dead following a Wednesday shooting at the Citibank Center in the Brandon area, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

HCSO confirmed in a social media post around 1:30 p.m. that the suspect involved in the active-shooter incident was dead and there was one confirmed victim.

Deputies responded to an “active threat” at the campus in the Sabal Park business area near Falkenburg Road shortly after noon Wednesday, prompting a large law enforcement response, including SWAT personnel.

Law enforcement is continuing to clear the building.

The sheriff’s office urged people to avoid the area, including the vicinity of Falkenburg Road and Queen Palms Drive, as emergency crews worked at the scene.

Sheriff Chad Chronister posted to X that preliminary details indicate the shooting was “a targeted incident.”

The circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the identities of the victim and suspect and what may have prompted the violence, haven’t been released yet.

The Citibank campus includes four three-story office buildings and employs thousands of workers.

Families of employees can meet them at a reunification site at Staybridge Suites Tampa East at 3624 N. Falkenburg Road in Tampa, Chronister said.
