A shooting at a Citibank campus in Florida has left at least two people dead and forced dozens of others to evacuate, authorities said.
The deadly incident broke out around noon on Wednesday at the campus in Brandon, just outside of Tampa, according to police.
An unidentified victim who was reportedly wounded and bleeding in the cafeteria died in the gunfire, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office scanner traffic revealed, according to the New York Post.
A gray vehicle reportedly crashed into the building before a shooter carrying a shotgun and handgun exited, according to the scanner audio.
The unnamed suspect also died during what has been described as a ‘targeted incident,’ officials said.
Sources told the outlet that the shooting is believed to have involved a vendor, not Citibank employees.
Dramatic images showed paramedics rushing gurneys over to the scene, as another showed a man strapped inside and wheeled away.
