Florida man who opened fire in a yoga studio in 2018, killing 2 women, repeatedly engaged in offensive and criminal behavior for decades, presenting missed opportunities to prevent the rampage, Secret Service says.
The agency’s National Threat Assessment Center studied the background of Scott Beierle, the 40-year-old man who walked into Hot Yoga on Nov. 2, 2018, drew a semi-automatic handgun and began shooting. A few minutes later, he shot and killed himself.
Secret Service researchers found that he touched girls without their consent in high school and openly admired Hitler and the Aryan Nations. After failing in his dream of becoming a screenwriter, he lived with his parents and wrote stories and songs described as “dark, violent and misogynistic.” His behavior frightened co-workers, roommates and family members, but aside from a few brushes with the law, little was done to intervene, according to the report.
The report also highlighted the threat posed by extreme hatred of women, which has been associated with other incidents of mass violence. In 2014, The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks violent extremism, calls it “male supremacy,” which it defines as a hateful ideology that believes in subjugating women and maintaining rigid gender roles.
