Joshua Quick, the Tallahassee man who is being hailed as a hero for fighting back against the gunman who killed two people at a Midtown yoga studio, shared his story Sunday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Quick said after Scott Beierle opened fire Friday night, he confronted him with the only weapon he could find — a vacuum cleaner with a heavy end.

“The gun stopped firing,” Quick said. “I don’t know if it jammed or what. So I used that opportunity to hit him over the head with it.”

The gunman pistol-whipped Quick, bloodying his face. But Quick recovered and tried to stop Beierle again.

“I jumped up as quickly as I could, ran back over and next thing you know, I’m grabbing a broom, anything I can. And I hit him again.”

Quick’s actions gave time for others to escape the yoga studio. Among those who got away was Daniela Garcia Albalat. Before Quick intervened, she told ABC, she thought she would die at the gunman’s hands.

“I want to thank that guy from the bottom of my heart,” she said, “because he saved my life.”

Two people, Dr. Nancy Van Vessem, an internist and chief medical officer for Capital Health Plan, and Maura Binkley, a Florida State University student, were killed in the shooting.

Five other people were wounded. Three of them were released from Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare on Saturday.

It wasn't clear whether the other two have been released as well. Their names are not listed in the hospital's directory, said Danielle Buchanan, a TMH spokeswoman. That could mean they have been released. But it's also possible law enforcement or the patients themselves asked not to be listed.
