Officials: 4 wounded, shooter dead at Florida yoga studio
03 November, 2018
A shooter wounded at least four people at a yoga studio in Florida’s capital before killing himself Friday, officials said.
The shooting was in a small Tallahassee shopping center and multiple police cars and ambulances were on the scene.
The suspect fatally shot himself, city spokeswoman Alison Faris told news outlets. City Manager Reese Goad said four people were wounded. City spokesman Jamie Van Pelt said the shooting appeared to be a part of a domestic dispute.
A major commuter intersection was blocked off and businesses in the plaza were on lockdown as police arrived at the scene.
Elle Welling said she was leaving a liquor store across the street from the shopping center and saw at least three people loaded into ambulances.
“You don’t think about this in Tallahassee and now you have to,” said Welling, 26, who lives in the neighborhood.
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who is the Democratic nominee for governor, tweeted that he’s breaking off the campaign trail to return to Tallahassee.
“I’m deeply appreciative of law enforcement’s quick response to the shooting at the yoga facility in Tallahassee today. No act of gun violence is acceptable. I’m in close communication with law enforcement officials and will be returning to Tallahassee tonight,” Gillum tweeted.
