4 wounded, shooter dead at Tallahassee yoga studio on Thomasville Road

Source: Tallahassee Democrat

An unidentified man shot and killed himself Friday evening after wounding at least four people at Hot Yoga, according to Tallahassee officials.

City spokeswoman Alison Faris confirmed that the shooter is dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the evening shooting. City Manager Reese Goad said four people were wounded.

A short time later, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare spokeswoman Danielle Buchanan said five patients were brought to the hospital. She didn’t know the condition of the patients, but they were being assessed.

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.

Nancy Van Vessem, M.D., had dedicated her life to teaching primary care medicine and public service. I recall having dedicated attending physicians such as she when I was in medical school, and I couldn't stop myself from tearing up when I read about her death.

Her biography page from the FSU Medical School website.
