Victims in Atlanta shootings include business owner, Army veteran and grandmother

Xiaojie Tan was a mother, a friend and a business owner. To American friends, she went by Emily. She ordered from Saigon Cafe in Atlanta and ate brunch near the river. She was a licensed massage therapist with a knack for deep-tissue techniques. She gathered friends and employees for food in the breakroom of her shop, her friend said, and she treated everyone equally.

Tan owned Young's Asian Massage, one of three Atlanta-area spas attacked in a mass shooting on March 16. Tan was one of eight people who died in the attack — six of whom were Asian women. Tan's friend, Greg Hynson, described her business as a place where the employees' personalities were a reflection of her own: warm, intelligent and hard-working.
