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.
