1 Killed In Gas Station Shooting

RIVERVIEW, FL — A man was fatally shot Tuesday night at a Riverview gas station, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office news release.

The shooting happened around 8 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and Balm Riverview Road.

Though the sheriff’s office didn’t say exactly where the shooting took place, an image shared by the agency shows HCSO forensic vehicles at a gas station roped off with caution tape.

When deputies responded, they found a man with at least one gunshot wound to his upper body, the sheriff’s office said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The shooter remained at the scene and cooperated with detectives.

A woman who lives nearby told WFLA that while she didn’t hear the shots fired, she heard the sirens approaching the intersection.

“When I looked again, (the victim) was receiving CPR next to the bicycle on the ground. I really thought the cyclist was hit by a car, but now looking back at everything that happened there, I realize it was a shooting,” she said.

Detectives are working with the state attorney’s office on this investigation.
