Law enforcement says shooter's motive may not be racist, but too early in investigation
FBI joins investigation into Atlanta spa shootings that left eight dead
The alleged gunman who shot up three Atlanta-area spas, killing eight people including six Asian women, “may have frequented” some of the locations and had a “sex addiction,” it was revealed on Wednesday.
Robert Aaron Long, 21, did not indicate in an interview with investigators that the shooting spree Tuesday was racially-motivated — instead suggesting that he chose salons that he was familiar with, authorities said during a press briefing, according to WSB-TV.
“We were able to interview him with the Atlanta police department and the FBI,” said Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds. “He made indicators that he has some issues, potentially sexual addiction, and may have frequented some of these places in the past.”
