A series of shootings across three Atlanta-area spas have left a total of eight people dead, including six Asian women, on Tuesday (March 16). Police have their chief suspect behind bars, and many are wondering if this heinous act is a hate crime targeting Asian Americans.
Robert Aaron Long, 21, was arrested by police Tuesday night after a manhunt was launched in the wake of the shooting, which took place across three locations. Long’s shooting spree took place in over 45 minutes, leading to early speculation that this was a calculated act of terror.
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that Long was arrested as the suspect in connection to the shooting at Young’s Asian Massage Parlor in Cherokee County which left four dead and one person injured. The outlet adds that Long is also the chief suspect in two other spa or massage parlor shootings in Northeast Atlanta, and Long was eventually arrested 150 miles south of Atlanta in
