President Biden and V.P. Harris plan to meet Asian American community leaders in Georgia after shooting at three massage parlours

Share On

The White House says President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris plan to meet with Asian American community leaders in Georgia in the wake of this week's deadly shootings at three Atlanta-area massage parlours.

Atlanta police say "nothing is off the table" in their investigation into the recent massage parlour slayings, including whether the killings were a hate crime.

Atlanta Police Deputy Chief Charles Hampton Jr. said during a news conference Thursday that investigators believe 21 year old Robert Aaron Long had visited the two Atlanta massage parlours where four women of Asian descent were killed.

"Our investigation is looking at everything so nothing is off the table for our investigation," Hampton said.

Four other victims were killed at a spa in suburban Cherokee County shortly before the Atlanta attacks.
