More details to be released soon.
This was reported on WFLA AM970, Tampa'a main radio news station Monday morning. The above quote was listed as 'breaking news' on their web site www.970wfla.com Monday. It no longer appears there now.
I just checked the area newspapers and did a Google news search, but strangely, no more articles or news about this since.
