What happened
- The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s OfficeHillsborough County Sheriff's Officecounty agency of Hillsborough County, Florida released body-camera footage and 911 audio showing the response to Wednesday’s deadly shooting at Citibank’s Tampa campus.
- Sheriff Chad Chronister
Chad ChronisterAmerican law enforcement officer (born 1968) said Thursday that 35-year-old Jacob Pearson targeted Citibank because he was angry over a $2,500 debt collection. - About three hours before the attack, Pearson threatened violence unless an attorney affiliated with Citibank canceled a court hearing over the debt, Chronister said.
- Authorities identified the employee killed as Leann Selman, 41, and said a member of Citibank’s armed security team fatally shot Pearson.
- Whether Pearson knew Selman remains unclear; investigators had been working to establish any connection.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets were represented only by The Boston Globe, which focused on the sheriff’s explanation that a $2,500 debt collection prompted the attack. Its AP report highlighted Pearson’s threat before the shooting and the armed security employee who stopped him.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets emphasized the chaotic attack and the armed guard who stopped it. Fox News hailed the Marine veteran as a “hero,” while the New York Post called the bodycam footage “chilling.” Breitbart’s AP report led instead with the sheriff’s account of the $2,500 debt dispute.
