"An unspeakable tragedy": Asian American community reacts to deadly spa shootings in Georgia

A series of shootings in Georgia on Tuesday night has left many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders feeling "heartbroken" and "frightened." 

Eight people, including six women of Asian descent, were shot and killed at three Atlanta-area spas, and another man was wounded. A suspect, identified as 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, is custody for the deadly shootings at Young's Asian Massage in Cherokee County and two Atlanta businesses, Gold Spa and Aromatherapy Spa, which are across the street from each other. Officials said at a Wednesday morning press briefing that the suspect took responsibility but claimed it wasn't racially motivated.
