This story hasn't been posted here for some reason so here you go:


Eight people were killed at three massage parlors in Atlanta and nearby Cherokee County on Tuesday. The suspect in the shootings, Robert Aaron Long, has been charged with eight counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault.

Six of the victims were of Asian descent and two were white. Seven were women.

On Friday, the authorities publicly identified four of the victims who had not been named before. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the women as Soon C. Park, 74; Hyun J. Grant, 51; Suncha Kim, 69; and Yong A. Yue, 63.

What We Know About the Victims in the Atlanta Shootings

Robert Aaron Long’s longtime church condemned him in a lengthy statement on Friday morning, saying the 21-year-old shooter had committed an “extreme and wicked act” that had prompted leaders to remove him from the congregation.

“These unthinkable and egregious murders directly contradict his own confession of faith in Jesus and the gospel,” the statement from Crabapple First Baptist Church read. “Aaron’s actions are antithetical to everything that we believe and teach as a church.”

Meantime, details are emerging about the nine shooting victims, including the eight dead, six of whom were Asian women. Xiaojie Tan, the owner of Young’s, was about to celebrate her 50th birthday. Delaina Yaun had recently given birth and been married, and was taking a spa day with her husband.
