Eight People Dead in Atlanta Shooting Spree Including Six Asian Women — 21-Year-Old Suspect Targeted Massage Parlors …Update: Killer an Insane Sex Addict

 

A mass shooter in Atlanta shot and killed eight people at multiple area spas and massage parlors, including six Asian women.

The suspect Robert Aaron Long, 21, was later apprehended by police.

FOX News reported:

Investigators said the first shooting occurred at about 5 p.m. at Young’s Asian Massage in the town of Ackworth, in Cherokee County. Two victims died at the scene and three were transported to a hospital, where two later died.

Less than an hour after the first shooting, police in the Buckhead neighborhood, in northeast Atlanta, responded to a call of a robbery in progress and found three women dead from apparent gunshot wounds at Gold Spa.

While at that scene, police received a call of shots fired at another spa across the street, Aromatherapy Spa, and found a woman who appeared to have been shot dead inside the business.

At least six of the eight victims were Asian women, authorities said, adding that it’s too early to say if race played a role.

UPDATE: The Atlanta killer told police he is a sex addict and he wanted to “eliminate locations he saw as ‘temptations’ for his sex addiction.”
