Eight people were killed in a string of massage parlor shootings in the Atlanta area early Tuesday evening.
Four people were shot and killed and at least one other person was injured at Young’s Asian Massage Parlor in Acworth, Georgia when a gunman entered the spa and opened fire shortly before 5 p.m., according to Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
Roughly 25 miles south of the scene of that shooting, three Asian women were shot and killed at Gold Spa and one Asian woman was shot and killed at Aromatherapy Spa in northern Atlanta about one hour later, Fox 5 reports.
21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in the shootings, was taken into custody shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday, Captain Baker said.
Detectives with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office are coordinating with the Atlanta Police Department in the investigation.

When I think of Asian massage parlors I think of human trafficking, among other lucrative illegal dealings. Call me racist. I say It's all the TV I watch.

Damn Sookie might as well pull a Biden and say all real Indians work at Dairy Queen or 7/11, all the Mexicans work landscape or farm and poultry plants.
Acworth is a pretty sleepy little town, now the places in Atlanta are a little more sketchy and likely suspicious. But the one in Acworth I'd doubt the police let that kind of crap going on.

Asian Massage parlors are notorious covers for prostitution. I'm guessing he either is a religious nut or was a "client" of a spa and was some how jilted and was getting revenge.

Not comparable.
I never said anything like all Asians engage in human trafficking.
But, Asian massage parlors are, as poster Edumacated put it, notorious for prostitution. I don't know about Atlanta, but in Hawaii, where I spent 30 years, they were. Not to mention the gambling, loan sharking and drug dealing that went on.
