Deputies Release Bodycam Footage of Fatal Tampa Bank Shooting
Newly released police bodycam footage documents the law enforcement response to a deadly shooting at Citibank's Sabal Center campus in Tampa, Florida, on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. One woman was killed, while an armed security guard fatally shot the gunman during an exchange of gunfire.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office released edited body camera recordings and 911 emergency calls documenting how deputies entered the business complex, searched for the attacker and evacuated occupants after the shooting.
According to the sheriff's office, the suspect drove through a fence at the Sabal Park Office Development before crashing into an outdoor seating area. He then fatally shot a woman and opened fire inside the building's cafeteria.
Emergency dispatchers began receiving reports of gunfire at 12:11 p.m. Wednesday, according to the sheriff's office. Deputies arrived at the campus within one minute of the first calls.
The footage captures deputies questioning bystanders about the suspect's appearance as they approached the business complex. One officer also reports that a vehicle had crashed into the property and that the gunman was inside the cafeteria.
An officer later confirms that the immediate threat has ended.
"Shooter is down," an officer announces in the released recording.
The video subsequently shows deputies escorting people out of the building as law enforcement personnel secure the scene.
The accompanying 911 recordings capture a caller reporting gunfire at Citibank. Dispatchers and responding officers can also be heard coordinating their plans to enter the building.
The sheriff's office credited an armed security guard employed at the Citibank campus with stopping the attacker during an exchange of gunfire. The suspect was subsequently pronounced dead at Tampa General Hospital.
Authorities also highlighted the scale of the emergency response and the number of people potentially exposed to danger.
More than 3,200 people were on the campus when the shooting occurred, according to the sheriff's office. More than 400 law enforcement personnel responded, including 367 sheriff's deputies.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister praised the security personnel and deputies involved in stopping the attack.
"Thanks to the brave actions by the security team on-site and more than 365 deputies, this unhinged suspect was stopped before he could harm anyone else," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement.
The released recordings provide an account of the emergency response, from the initial reports of gunfire through the confirmation that the gunman had been stopped and occupants were being escorted from the building.
