The FBI opened a hate crime investigation into the shooting at a hair salon in Dallas last week amid reports the attack may be linked to two other shootings targeting Asian-owned businesses in the area. Dallas police said early Tuesday a suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting of three Korean American women on May 11. The shooting took place at Hair World Salon, which sits in a predominantly Korean business area, when an unknown gunman stopped his vehicle near the salon, entered the building and shouted something unintelligible.
