Pamje të rënda janë publikuar nga sulmi i armatosur në ambientet e një filiali të Citibank në Tampa të Floridës, SHBA, ku një 35-vjeçar vrau një punonjëse dhe më pas u qëllua për vdekje nga shefi i sigurisë së bankës. Autori, i identifikuar si Jacob Pearson, hyri me forcë në ambientet e bankës të mërkurën, duke përplasur me automjet portën e sigurisë. Sipas raportimeve, shkak i sulmit dyshohet të ketë qenë një njoftim gjyqësor për një borxh prej 2,500 dollarësh.
Policia bëri të ditur se Pearson kishte telefonuar më herët firmën ligjore që po ndiqte çështjen e borxhit dhe kishte bërë kërcënime të drejtpërdrejta.
True heroes don’t run from danger they run toward it. 🇺🇸
We are learning the details behind yesterday’s tragic shooting at the Citibank corporate campus in Brandon, Florida, and why the heroic actions of Marine Corps veteran John Fraley saved countless lives.
WHY IT HAPPENED:
The tragedy stemmed from a legal dispute. The gunman, 35-year-old Jacob Pearson of Orlando, had no prior criminal record but became irate over a court summons regarding a $2,500 delinquent credit card bill.
At 9:00 AM, Pearson called Citibank’s collections attorney and issued a threat, demanding the court case be canceled while referencing an intention to bring weapons and a bulletproof vest to the location.
WHAT HAPPENED:
Despite law enforcement attempting to locate him after the threat was reported, Pearson drove 90 miles to the Tampa campus. Armed with a rifle, a handgun, and ammunition, he breached the security gates just after noon while thousands of employees were on campus.
Pearson opened fire in the courtyard, fatally wounding LeAnne Selman, a valued 9-year human resources employee. According to Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, the suspect targeted the campus with the intent to inflict maximum casualties among the employees.
THE HEROIC CONFRONTATION:
As panic swept the campus, Citibank’s Vice President of Operations and security team member, John Fraley, utilized his Marine Corps training and moved toward the danger to protect others.
Fraley tracked the armed gunman toward the building’s cafeteria. Realizing the suspect’s path, Fraley took a tactical position nearby. As Pearson advanced, Fraley confronted him, opening fire and engaging the gunman to prevent further harm.
Fraley successfully neutralized the threat, ending the rampage before any other individuals could be harmed.
Sheriff Chronister praised the veteran, noting that Fraley chose to stand as a shield for his coworkers rather than seeking safety for himself.
Semper Fi, John Fraley. Your courage under fire turned a tragic incident around and saved countless lives. Thank you for your service and your heroism. 🎖️🙏
Please join us in honoring John Fraley, and keeping the family of LeAnne Selman in your deepest thoughts and prayers. 🖤

Pamjet e kamerave të sigurisë tregojnë momentin kur automjeti i tij përplas portën e objektit, ku punonin rreth 3,200 persona. Më pas, 35-vjeçari u përball me punonjësen 41-vjeçare, Lynn Selman, ndaj së cilës hapi zjarr me një pushkë gjahu. Pasi arma iu bllokua, ai u kthye te automjeti, mori një pistoletë dhe qëlloi sërish ndaj gruas, e cila po përpiqej të largohej. Selman ndërroi jetë si pasojë e plagëve të marra.
