TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – A gunman killed one person and wounded four others in a yoga studio in the Florida capital before killing himself on Friday, officials said.
At a press conference on Friday night, Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said four people were in critical condition following the shooting, which took place in a small mall from Tallahassee.
The suspect is shot dead, said city spokeswoman Alison Faris. City spokesman Jamie Van Pelt said the shooting appeared to be part of a domestic conflict.
DeLeo said the police did not identify the gunman and asked anyone who saw something unusual at the time of the shootings to contact the police.
A major suburban intersection was blocked and the shops in the square were locked when the police arrived at the scene.
She Welling said that she was leaving an alcoholic beverage shop in front of the mall and that she had seen at least three people being loaded into ambulances.
"You do not think about that in Tallahassee and now you have to do it," said Welling, 26, living in the neighborhood.
Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, who is the Democratic nominee for the governorship, tweeted that he was breaking the campaign to return to Tallahassee.
"I deeply appreciate the police force's quick reaction to the shooting that took place at the Tallahassee Yoga Center today. No act of armed violence is acceptable. I am in close contact with law enforcement officials and will be returning to Tallahassee tonight, "Gillum tweeted.
