“Shooter Is Down”: Newly Released Bodycam Footage Reveals Chaotic Moments After Deadly Citibank Attack

Newly released police body-camera footage has captured the chaotic response to a deadly shooting at a Citibank office complex in Florida, showing deputies rushing into the building as terrified employees fled for safety.

The footage was released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office following the November 4, 2026, attack at the Sabal Center campus in the Tampa area.

The shooting left 41-year-old Citibank employee Leanne Selman dead. The suspected gunman, identified as 35-year-old Jacob Pearson, was also killed after exchanging gunfire with an armed security guard.

More than 3,200 people were reportedly on the sprawling campus when the violence erupted.

According to authorities, emergency dispatchers began receiving calls reporting gunfire at approximately 12:11 p.m. One caller could be heard urgently telling a dispatcher that someone was shooting inside the Citibank offices.

The newly released bodycam footage shows a deputy running toward the scene, where he encounters a silver vehicle that had crashed through security barriers and crossed a grassy area.

The deputy then moves toward the building’s cafeteria as people shout warnings about the suspected shooter.

Inside, the situation remains tense as law enforcement officers search for the gunman. At one point, an officer can be heard announcing: “Shooter is down.”

The footage also shows employees being escorted out of the building, with some walking outside with their hands raised as deputies continue securing the complex.

Investigators said Pearson had driven through a secured entrance before opening fire. He allegedly shot Selman before moving toward the cafeteria, where he was confronted by Citibank’s armed security employee, John Fraley, 38.

Fraley exchanged gunfire with Pearson and shot him, bringing the attack to an end. Pearson was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Four other people were taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries or medical concerns. They were later released.

The sheriff’s office praised Fraley for confronting the gunman, saying his actions helped prevent further casualties among the thousands of people working at the complex.

Authorities later revealed that Pearson had allegedly threatened Citibank over a court summons connected to a credit-card debt of approximately $2,500. Investigators said he had warned a Citibank-affiliated attorney that he would bring a rifle and body armor to the company’s offices unless the hearing was canceled.

The investigation into the attack remains ongoing. The released footage provides a closer look at the emergency response, but the actual shooting and the full exchange between the gunman and the security guard are not shown in the body-camera clips described by authorities.

For the employees who witnessed the violence, the recordings offer a disturbing reminder of how quickly an ordinary workday turned into a deadly emergency.
