A 21-year-old Georgia man who had publicly declared 'a love for God and guns' has been arrested in southwest Georgia, hours after eight people were killed in shootings at three Atlanta-area massage parlors.
Four Asian women were found dead at two parlors across the street from each other in northeast Atlanta, where police found bodies at one establishment before learning of shots being fired at the other.
The other four victims - two Asian women, a white woman and a white man - were killed at a third parlor 30 miles away in suburban Acworth. At least one other person, a Hispanic man, was injured.

Robert Aaron Long, of Woodstock, is a suspect in all three shootings and was taken into custody in Crisp County on Tuesday night following a police car chase about 150 miles south of Atlanta, about a three-hour drive.
The Crisp County Sheriff's Office said it received information on the suspect's car and spotted it driving along a highway whereupon police gave chase, ultimately ramming the vehicle off the road.
The FBI is now assisting the investigation, with police saying it is too early to tell whether the shootings were a racially-motivated hate crime.
But with six Asian women among the dead - four of them believed to be of Korean descent - the killing has already reignited anger over a surge in crime against Asian-Americans during the pandemic.
the whole anti-asian sentiment is such a load of shit. No one is targeting asians. Just so happens that you're going to find mostly asians working an asian massage parlour. I fucking hate how stupid some people are.
