The world is in mourning after eight innocent people were gunned down at three Atlanta-area massage parlors yesterday. Robert Aaron Long, 21, opened fire at Young’s Asian Massage near Acworth, Georgia, Gold Massage Spa on Piedmont Road in Atlanta, and Aroma Therapy Spa directly across the street leaving the death toll at eight—6 of whom were of Asian descent. John Legend, LeBron James, Olivia Munn, Karrueche, Porsha Williams, and more Hollywood notables are sending their condolences to the families of the victims and speaking out against hate crimes.
STOP ASIAN HATE ❤️🙏🏽

Praying for the loved ones of those who were killed in Atlanta. 🙏🏽
Praying for anyone who has been/is being targeted by white supremacist violence & specifically those are being targeted because they are Asian.
We need to coalition build and stand in solidarity to end this.

This is deeply, deeply sad.
Trump on Fox *tonight* referred to COVID using the racist slur “China virus.”
He previously called it the “Kung Flu.”
While he continues to spread hatred against Asian Americans, people like this shooter are listening.https://t.co/bBAkzQl3R1
