More context
A gunman drove a car into the courtyard at Citibank’s Tampa complex Wednesday, then fired a rifle and killed a woman; a security guard shot him dead, authorities said. Two people died in all, including the gunman.
Chief Deputy Frank Losat of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said the car crashed among outdoor tables where people were eating lunch, sending workers scrambling. He said 3,200 people were on the campus during the attack. The gunman was confronted by a security guard in a cafeteria, and the two exchanged fire. Losat said there was potential for further violence and praised the guard.
Four other people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff’s office gave no motive and did not say whether the gunman and the woman knew each other. Their names had not been released.
