Atlanta mayor says spa shootings 'looked like a hate crime'

In a Wednesday press conference about the Atlanta spa shootings that claimed the life of eight people, Captain Jay Baker with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department said the shooter had a “bad day.” Since those comments were made, the sheriff’s department has been facing backlash and calls for Baker to resign. On Thursday, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds issued a statement about Baker’s comments saying, “In as much as his words were taken or construed as insensitive or inappropriate, they were not intended to disrespect any of the victims, the gravity of this tragedy, or express empathy or sympathy for the suspect.” Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said the shooting looks like a hate crime since Asian spas were targeted and most of the victims were Asian women. The shooter, Robert Aaron Long, told police that the act was not racially motivated but instead tied to his sexual addiction.
