A string of shootings at three spas in the Atlanta area Tuesday left eight people dead six of them reported to be Asian women, raising concerns from some public officials that the attacks could be racially motivated.
Police have not yet offered a motive in the shootings, which happened over an hour Tuesday before a suspect was taken into custody that night.
But because of many of the victims’ backgrounds, some officials and organizations have raised fears that ethnicity came into play, amid rising concerns nationwide about anti-Asian violence during the coronavirus pandemic.
