Atlanta massage parlor shooting suspect 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long took “full responsibility” for a series of shootings on Tuesday night, officials said, adding that Long may not have targeted the parlors out of a racially motivated animus but because he wanted to end his addiction.

In the string of shootings, eight people were killed, including six of Asian descent, authorities said. The other two victims were white, officials added.
