Man Arrested in Connection to the Atlanta Shootings that Killed 8 People
At least eight people were killed and several others injured in a series of shootings at three spas in the Atlanta metro region Tuesday. A suspect has been taken into custody in connection with all three shootings, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office announced that Robert Aaron Long, a 21-year-old white man from Woodstock, Ga., was arrested at about 8:30 p.m. local time following a chase that led officers into Crisp County — about three hours away from where the first shootings at a massage parlor occurred, according to police who spoke during a brief press conference. Long was transported to the Crisp County Detention Center, police said.
Records searches into Long’s background do not show any prior criminal history.
