TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A yoga student is being lauded as a hero for wrestling with a gunman who posed as a customer to get into a yoga studio in Florida and started firing.

Joshua Quick spoke to ABC's Good Morning America on Sunday and said he grabbed Scott Paul Beierle's gun after it jammed, and hit him. Tallahassee Police have identified Beierly as the man who entered the Hot Yoga Tallahassee during a Friday night class and started shooting, killing two and wounding six. Police say the 40-year-old Beierle then turned the gun on himself but have offered no motive in the attack.

Quick said Beierle was able to grab the gun back and then pistol-whip him.

"I jumped up as quickly as I could," said Quick, who had visible injuries on his face. "I ran back over and the next thing I know I'm grabbing a broom, the only thing I can, and I hit him again."

1. "no motive for the attack"

Translation: How do we get out of calling this right-wing terrorism?

3. HE HATED WOMEN

There have already been several articles posted about it here.

4. He was an involuntary celibate (incel)

That is a right-wing movement.

the yoga studio had had an armed guard.....

6. We don't know the motive... I mean sure he assaulted women, made racist rants, worshiped Reagan

And was an incel.

It's all so confusing though.
