What happened

Updated Nov 4, 7:44pm ET
  • An armed security guard fatally shot a gunman who killed a woman at the Citibank campus near Tampa on Wednesday, authorities said.
  • Chief Deputy Frank Losat said the gunman drove through a fence, crashed into an outdoor seating area and shot the woman before exchanging gunfire with the guard inside a cafeteria.
  • The guard was injured in the exchange, and at least four other people were treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, Losat said.
  • More than 360 deputies responded, searching buildings and escorting workers out, and authorities said there was no longer a threat to the public.
  • Sheriff Chad Chronister said authorities believed the attack was targeted, but officials had not disclosed a possible motive.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets emphasized officials’ accounts of the deaths and the emergency response at a large workplace. CNN detailed the guard’s confrontation and injuries, while The Boston Globe described deputies’ floor-by-floor searches and workers sheltering in closets; both included a father’s account of his son fleeing gunfire.

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets generally emphasized the deadly attack and the police response, with some highlighting dramatic footage or the guard’s intervention. Fox News called the guard “hailed as a hero” by authorities; the Daily Mail led with a “horrific moment” captured on video, while Breitbart stressed officials’ description of a “targeted incident.”
