Hot Yoga Tallahassee – A National Threat Assessment Center Extremism Case Study
Wednesday April 2, 2025 10:20am - 11:15am CDT
The Hot Yoga Tallahassee case study demonstrates the opportunities that exist to prevent targeted violence while drawing particular focus to the risk posed by misogynistic extremism. Highlighted throughout the case study are assessment themes that were evident in the background of the Hot Yoga Tallahassee attacker. These assessment themes are frequently seen in the backgrounds of other attackers and, as such, should be the focus of community-level violence prevention efforts to identify and intervene with those who pose a risk of engaging in targeted violence.
