Atlanta shootings: Eight dead at three massage parlours with suspect arrested

in #news3 years ago

Eight people have been killed - including four women - after three shootings at massage parlours in Atlanta.

Armed officers are searching the area for a possible suspect.

Crime scene tape was said to have surrounded the Aromatherapy Spa and Gold Spa.

In a news conference, Atlanta police said all four victims from those two locations were female and appeared to be Asian.

Meanwhile, another shooting happened earlier on Tuesday which left four people dead and two others injured at a massage parlour in Cherokee County.

The Cherokee County’s Sheriff Office told WSBTV that the injured were taken to a nearby hospital. Officers began searching for the alleged shooter who was reported to have driven away in a black Hyundai SUV.

According to CNN a suspect in the Cherokee County shootings has since been taken into custody, about 3 and a half hours after the killings.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office was said to have identified him as Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock.

The later shooting at two spas left four people dead and a road has been sealed off by officers with a heavy police presence.

Police were reported to have said three women were killed at the Gold Spa and one was killed across the street at the Aroma Therapy Spa.

Armed police have been seen walking along the street outside the spas and it has been reported that police are checking on other Asian spas in the area and increasing their patrols in case they're being targeted.

The shooting reportedly happened along Piedmont Road near the intersection of Cheshire Bridge Road.

There has been no confirmation from police that the two shootings are linked and police said they were originally called to reports of a robbery.

In a press conference officers said the case was an 'extreme priority.'

Earlier this month in the same US state rapper Chucky Trill was shot dead at 33 in a Georgia highway attack.
