A Tragedy in Atlanta
Eight people, including several women of Asian descent, were shot to death at a string of
Atlanta-area massage parlors, raising fear across the community that the victims were targeted because of their race. After a search by authorities, a 21-year-old man was arrested about 150 miles south of Atlanta.
While the motive behind the killings was not immediately known, the shootings took place at an Asian massage parlor in Acworth, Ga., and two Atlanta spas where many of the employees are Asian. With fear spreading across spas and massage parlors in the area, the Atlanta Police Department said that commanders in the area where the killings took place increased patrols and dispatched officers to check similar businesses nearby.
