Police have charged a man with murder in connection with the mass shooting in the American state of Georgia Tuesday. Eight people were killed in the attacks at three massage businesses in or near Atlanta. Police arrested 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long about two hours after the attack. They say Long told them he carried out the attack because he is a sex addict, someone with an unhealthy dependence on sex. Seven women were killed, six of them identified as ethnic Asian and one as white. A white man was also killed. Early reports about the shootings raised the possibility the attack was a race-based hate crime. However, police said Long told them that race was not connected to the shootings. The attack was the sixth mass killing this year in the U.S., reports the Associated Press, based on information from a database the AP shares with USA Today and Northeastern University in Massachusetts. Tuesday’s attack was the deadliest mass killing since August 2019 when nine people were killed in Dayton, Ohio.
