15:02Now PlayingTwo women were shot and killed at a yoga studio in Tallahassee, Florida, on Friday when a farright extremist and selfproclaimed misogynist entered a yoga class and opened fire. Fortyyearold gunman Scott Beierle murdered 61yearold Nancy Van Vessem, a medical doctor and a faculty member at Florida State University, and Florida State University student 21yearold Maura Binkley in the deadly shooting. He critically injured four other women, including one woman who was shot nine times. Beierle also pistolwhipped a man in the rampage before turning the gun on himself. Police say Beierle was found dead at the yoga studio from a selfinflicted gunshot wound. Beierle had a track record of attacking women, black people and immigrants via online videos and songs and had previously been investigated for harassing women and arrested at least twice, once on allegations of battery against women. We speak with Soraya Chemaly in Washington, D.C. She is a longtime writer and feminist activist and author of the new book “Rage Becomes HerThe Power of Women’s Anger.” She is also director of the Women’s Media Center Speech Project.
