Tallahassee Police Department
Scott Beierle, 40, has been identified as the man who shot and killed himself after he fatally wounded two people and injured another three in a shooting at Hot Yoga Tallahassee in the Florida capital on the evening of Friday, November 2.
According to Tallahassee authorities, Beierle died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and the four victims were rushed to the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. In total, three people died: two victims and the shooter.
The Tallahassee Police Department said that one victim has died, one is in critical condition and the three others are in serious condition. A Tallahassee city spokesman says that the shooting appears to be related to a domestic dispute.
Alex Redding was in the Bar at Betton downstairs when a woman ran in hyperventilating followed by a man with blood on his head. Redding said two to three other people entered the bar seeking assistance and said that a tall man with a beard was inside the Hot Yoga Studio acting strange and began shooting during the class.
The man with blood on his head told the patrons he tried to stop the shooter but was pistol-whipped before the shooter then shot himself.
The incident immediately interrupted the gubernatorial campaign of Andrew Gillum, who tweeted he was “deeply appreciative of law enforcement’s quick response to the shooting at the yoga facility in Tallahassee today.”
The shooting at Hot Yoga Tallahassee is just the latest in a string of deadly shootings that have plagued the United States in recent years and comes just six days after Robert Bowers killed eleven elderly worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
