8 people, including 6 Asians, killed in mass shootings at massage parlours in Atlanta
Seven of them were women while the accused is a white man, say officials
Eight people were shot to death at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area Tuesday evening, the authorities said, raising fears that the crimes may have targeted people of Asian descent.
Six of the people killed were Asian, and two were white, according to law enforcement officials. All but one were women.
A suspect, identified as Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, Georgia, was captured in Crisp County, about 150 miles south of Atlanta, after a manhunt, said the authorities, who had earlier released a surveillance image of a suspect near a Hyundai Tucson outside one of the massage parlors.
