Security guard kills gunman after fatal shooting at Tampa Citibank site

A gunman drove a silver sedan through a secure fence into an outdoor dining area at the Citibank Center near Tampa on Nov. 4, 2026, exited with a rifle and handgun, and fatally shot a woman on the ground. He moved toward a cafeteria, where an armed security guard confronted him at 12:15 p.m. ET. They exchanged gunfire. The gunman died at 1:12 p.m. at Tampa General Hospital. The woman died at the scene. 911 calls began about 12:11 p.m. More than 3,200 employees were on the six-building campus. Four others had non-life-threatening injuries. Officials reported 367 deputies responded. Chief Deputy Frank Losat said agencies did not hesitate to engage, potential for further violence was absolute, and gave kudos to the guard. Sheriff Chad Chronister said the suspect intent on killing as many as possible was stopped by the security team and more than 365 deputies. Citi CEO Jane Fraser expressed sympathy for those affected and said Citi is adding security at other sites as necessary. Employees were not expected to work Nov. 5. Witness Sonja Barker described hundreds running to exit a secured gate after hearing shots. Names of the gunman and victim are unreleased. Losat said details remain subject to change. Coverage places the site in Brandon or unincorporated Tampa.
