The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a death that occurred inside a Dick’s House of Sports store at the Brandon Exchange. Chief Deputy Joseph Maurer said deputies received a 911 call from an employee at 4:28 p.m. that reported a gunshot. About 30 deputies responded to the scene and found a male dead inside a fitting room. Two people running from the scene were detained, Maurer said. Maurer said that video showed that three people had walked into Dick’s from the mall and had gone into a fitting room. Moments later, two people left the fitting room and ran into a parking lot. “There is absolutely no tolerance for violence in Hillsborough County, especially in places where families gather to shop and spend time together,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “Our deputies’ training prepared them to respond immediately, secure the scene, detain those involved within minutes, and bring order to a dangerous situation.” No other details were immediately released.
