A shooting at a Citibank campus near Tampa, Florida, on Wednesday left two people dead, including the suspect, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. The AP reports that the sheriff said the suspect died at the scene and that one victim also died, and Daily Mail reports at least two killed. Early reports citing sheriff's scanner traffic, as the New York Post reported, described one wounded person in a cafeteria. The sheriff said he believed the incident was targeted. Dozens of workers were evacuated while deputies cleared the building.
