Georgia Mass Shooting Kills 8, Media Races To Speculate On Motive

A series of shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors left eight dead Tuesday night and, after an extended manhunt, police have arrested a 21-year-old man who is believed to have confessed to the crimes.

“The attacks began around 5 p.m. when five people were shot at Youngs Asian Massage Parlor in a strip mall near a rural area in Acworth, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Atlanta, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Jay Baker said. Two people died at the scene and three were transported to a hospital where two of them also died,” according to the Associated Press.
