At least eight people, including six Asian women, were killed in shootings at three different spas in the US state of Georgia on Tuesday, with a 21-year-old white man in custody on suspicion of staging all three attacks, police have said.<\/p>\n

The shootings came with many Asian Americans already on edge following a recent spike in hate crimes against the community and triggered immediate fears that Asian-run businesses may have been deliberately singled out.<\/p>\n

\n

The bloodshed began around 17:00 EDT (21:00 GMT) on Tuesday when four people were killed and another was wounded in a shooting at Young\u2019s Asian Massage in Cherokee County, about 64km (40 miles) north of Atlanta, Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta police department separately confirmed that four women were found dead at two business establishments in northeast Atlanta, identified as the Gold Massage Spa and Aroma Therapy spa.<\/p>\n

Authorities have identified Robert Aaron Long as a suspect in all three shootings and say he acted alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect did take responsibility for the shootings. He said that early on, once we began interviews with him,\u201d Baker said at a news conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does claim that it was not racially motivated\u201d, Baker said, explaining that Long has a \u201cwhat he considers a sex addiction\u201d and saw the parlours as \u201ctemptations he wanted to eliminate\u201d.<\/p>\n

Local newspaper the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Long bought a gun from a local shop the same day the shootings occurred.<\/p>\n

Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said it is too early to definitively say whether this was a hate crime. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms added that there has not been \u201ca significant uptick in formal complaints\u201d of violence from the city\u2019s Asian American community but recognised the spike in reports of violence against Asian Americans across the country, calling it \u201cunacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Long was taken into custody after a \u201cbrief pursuit\u201d about 240km (150 miles) from Atlanta, according to a statement by the Georgia Department of Safety on Facebook.Describing the scene in northeast Atlanta, the city police department said: \u201cUpon arrival, officers located three females deceased inside the location from apparent gunshot wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

While on the scene, officers were advised of shots fired across the street, where they found a fourth female victim.<\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was assisting in the investigation, a spokesman told the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

South Korea\u2019s foreign ministry said in a statement that its diplomats in Atlanta have confirmed from police that four of the victims who died were women of Korean descent.<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is in South Korea meeting with Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong, mentioned the killings during an opening statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are horrified by this violence which has no place in America or anywhere,\u201d he said, noting that four of the women were believed to be of Korean descent.<\/p>\n

The shootings come as reports of attacks against Asian Americans, primarily elders, have spiked in recent months \u2013 heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, activists believe, by talk of the \u201cChinese virus\u201d by former President Donald Trump and others.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House the \u201cquestion of motivation is still to be determined\u201d, but acknowledged concerns, saying whatever is \u201cthe motivation here I know that Asian-Americans are very concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters before a meeting with Prime Minister Micheal Martin that she stands with the Asian-American community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not yet clear about the motive. But I do want to say to our Asian-American community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people, knowing the increasing level of hate crime against our Asian-American brothers and sisters\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur entire family is praying for the victims of these horrific acts of violence,\u201d Governor Brian Kemp said Tuesday evening on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The New York police department\u2019s counterterrorism bureau said it was \u201cmonitoring the shooting of Asian Americans in Georgia\u201d and deploying officers \u201cto our great Asian communities across the city out of an abundance of caution\u201d, though it added there was no known link to the city.<\/p>\n

While racial motivation can be hard to establish, a study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at CSU San Bernardino found that reported anti-Asian hate crimes nearly tripled from 49 to 122 cases last year across 16 big US cities including New York and Los Angeles \u2013 even as overall hate crime fell 7 percent.Georgia is home to nearly 500,000 Asian residents, or just more than 4 percent of its population, according to the Asian American Advocacy Fund.<\/p>\n

The Democratic party in Georgia called Tuesday\u2019s shooting spree \u201chorrifying\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs details continue to emerge, this attack sadly follows the unacceptable pattern of violence against Asian Americans that has skyrocketed throughout this pandemic,\u201d said Congresswoman Nikema Williams, who is also the state party\u2019s chairwoman.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s tragic killings in #Atlanta reaffirm the need for us to step up and protect ALL of America\u2019s marginalized minorities from racism,\u201d tweeted Ben Crump, a lawyer known for representing several high-profile Black victims of police brutality in the United States in recent years.<\/p>\n

In an address to the nation last Thursday, President Joe Biden forcefully condemned what he called \u201cvicious hate crimes against Asian Americans who have been attacked, harassed, blamed and scapegoated\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wrong. It\u2019s un-American. And it must stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
