Citibank Shooting in Tampa Leaves One Employee Dead

A 35-year-old man from Orlando attacked a Citibank office campus in Brandon, Florida, over a $2,500 credit card debt. He drove approximately 90 miles from his home to the campus and crashed his car into a fence before exiting with a rifle.

The shooting occurred on Wednesday around noon. The gunman opened fire in a courtyard where several employees were having lunch, fatally wounding Leann Selman, a 41-year-old human resources employee.

“He was there with one purpose: to hunt and kill any human being he found.”

Three hours before the attack, the man called a Citibank-affiliated lawyer and threatened him, demanding that a court hearing regarding his debt be canceled unless he wanted the attacker to arrive with an AR-15, a bulletproof vest, and his madness.

An armed security executive confronted the gunman and shot him five times before he could injure more people. The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

Authorities stated that the gunman carried 90 rounds of ammunition but only managed to fire 15 before his rifle jammed. He then returned to his car to retrieve a handgun.

The sheriff described the gunman's intent as hunting and killing any human being he found, praising the security guard's actions for preventing further violence.
