is cnn newsroom. u.s. president joe biden will soon be on his way here to atlanta, georgia, just days after eight people were killed in a shooting rampage at a local spas, six of them were asian women. biden was supposed to promote his huge coronavirus relief package, but will now instead offer his support to the community. he will be meeting with the mayor as well as state officials and asian-american leaders. vice president kamala harris who is a black asian-american is also on the trip. police say it s too soon to tell if the shootings were racially motivated about you that doesn t mean this had nothing to do with race as cnn s amara walker reports. our investigation is looking at everything, so nothing is off the table. reporter: as investigators take a hard look into what motivated the suspect to go on a mass shooting spree in the atlanta area that left eight dead including six asian women, comments and actions from the captain of the cherokee county sheriff s de
