Atlanta Police Press Conference on Spa Shootings Transcript March 17
"Our units responded to 1916 Piedmont road on a robbery call. Upon arrival, they discovered three females shot inside this location. While investigating that location, they received another call at 1907 Piedmont Road where they found another female shot inside that location. Both locations were massage parlors. And at that time, we recognized that we had had information previously put out by Cherokee County, that they had a similar incident occurring in their jurisdiction. Immediately, the Sheriff and I and the Chief in that jurisdiction started having conversations trying to bring things together.
"The suspect did take responsibility for the shootings. He said that early on once we began the interviews with him. He claims that these, and as the chief said, this is still early, but he does claim that it was not racially motivated. He apparently has an issue, what he considers sex addiction and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places, and it’s a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate."
"Just to be clear, our victims, I know that obviously Atlanta, all their victims were Asian, two of our victims were White, in case anyone was unaware of that. We had two Asians and two Whites that were killed."
