Eight people were killed on Tuesday, including at least six Asian women, following a string of shootings at massage parlours and spas in the Atlanta area. In a news conference, Atlanta police said all four victims from two of the three locations were female and appeared to be Asian. After a manhunt officers arrested a suspect, who police said was 'extremely likely' to have been involved in all of the shootings. The suspect, who remains in custody, has been identified as Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, Georgia. South Korea's Consulate General in Atlanta reportedly sent consular staff members to check if there were any other native causalities in the shootings, the ministry said.
