Florida State University, faculty member and student, Dr. Nancy Van Vessem and Maura Binkley, have been identified as the victims in a double-fatal, Tallahassee, shooting on Friday afternoon.
Binkley, 21, was a student at FSU and that Dr. Van Vessem, 61, was a faculty member of FSU’s medical school, according to officials. Tallahassee Police also identified the shooter as 40-year-old Scott Paul Beierle, of Deltona, Florida.

Her dedication, caring, leadership, humanity, and experience made her one of the most respected, inspiring, and accomplished medical professionals in the state and country. Our hearts are filled with sorrow and prayers for her family. We all have been so blessed to have Nancy in our lives,” the company said.
