let's bring in abc steve posunsl week for us in atlanta. we know the names of all the victims have now been revealed, among them a devoted single mom, a newlywed mom, an army veteran. i know this has shaken atlanta, it's shaken the country. >> it has, there are asian americans here in the city, in this county, in the county to the north of us, where one of these shootings, these killings happened, across the state, asian-americans across this country who have watching these events are all terrified, frightened and even angered by what has happened here in this -- in the increase in attacks against asian-americans in this country and many people of all colors are having trouble understanding the line that we're hearing from police that this was the result of a sex addiction and that this alleged gunman was targeting these businesses because of that. that. that. that. that. that. politics and embracing science. >> all right. waives been watching president biden speaking from atlanta after a meet waying with the cdc as well as members of the a

we talk about march 16, 8 people were killed in and around atlanta in six of them women of asian descent. on monday a 65 -year-old latina was brutally attacked in new york and was told she did not belong here by her attacker, nonsense. the men who witnessed the attack stood by and did not intervene or do anything. this is all makes your blood boil and makes your mouth file when you see this and it's infuriating and disgusting and totally unacceptable. unfortunately, it is nothing new. such acts against asian americans and pacific islanders have been increasing and becoming all too common in our country today. one way we can stamp that out is to speak up. on tuesday president biden announced additional actions to respond to anti- asian violence. he is a leader in this area the we are all grateful for and may he respond swiftly and strongly. there is no place in our country for hatred or racism of any kind and it betrays the idea of the foundation of our very country and we, as mayors, have to condemn and must condemn and we will continue to condemn any type of hatred or racist violence in

go ahead and atlanta. yes and thank you. i agree, i me, i don't even know why he started talking about from to that degree on the, i know that truck, you know, it's like the beginning, but we've corrected that. that's why joe biden is the president of united states. however, he should have been hammering in on the both bread and butter issues. and i don't understand why the democratic party cannot talk about that. and i don't know while we keep trying to make the pandemic and people leaving jobs. ah, a democratic or republican issue in a global pandemic in all of the countries around the world every once, not working, women not working names, not working. and i don't understand how we have become so polarized that america, that we have blamed this on a friday instead of blaming on a pandemic. that probably wouldn't. then it's friday, it had the president who at that time, who i was gonna try. and now this will incompetent only ish in christopher. yeah. well hey, i want to go to, i want to talk about florida. the free state o

in atlanta, we have d dockins aguilar. she is a political strategist and a former georgia state representative and in fort lauderdale. we cross to christopher metzler, he is a conservative political analyst. all right, cross sock rules and effect. that means you can jump in any time you want. and i always appreciate the, let me go to you 1st because you're the odd person on the panel and i want to be fair. but does the sitting president of the united states, joe biden, reacting to the earthquake in virginia and elsewhere across the country, as by the media? what, what happened? he said, people are upset and concerned. that's not very, a reassuring to me. what do you, what do you think happen and reflect upon the president's words, go ahead d and atlanta? well, thank you peter, and to be honest, i kind of echo a little bit about what the president said. people are upset. i mean, just think about, we're coming out of a global pandemic. i should was still in the middle of it trying to figure out how to get people vaccinated.

the deadly shooting rampage in atlanta. authorities now revealing new details tonight about the alleged gunman charged with eight counts of murder. opening fire at three different spas. eight people killed, including six women of asian decent. tonight, growing out rage across this country. what's being done to stop the hate? and the county sheriff who will no longer be the spokesperson on this case, one day after he described what the suspect told investigators going on to say yesterday was a really bad day for him. tonight, president biden ordering flags lowered to half staff. the president and vice president traveling to atlanta tomorrow. steve osunsami with late reporting. >>> also tonight, president biden late today revealing his goal of 100 million s

we begin with breaking news overnight from atlanta. a deadly shooting spree raising new concerns about asian-americans being targeted across the country. >> police are trying to determine why a man opened fire at several spas in metro atlanta killing eight people. it comes just as congress prepares to hold a hearing tomorrow on the disturbing increase in violent attacks from california to new york targeting people of asian descent. this morning the fbi is now investigating a shooting spree that left eight people dead at multiple massage parlors in the atlanta area. police first identified 21-year-old robert long as the suspect in a shooting that killed four people at a spa in cherokee county. one hour later investigators say a gunman matching his description worked into two other massage parlors in atlanta killing four more people. >> it appears all victims are female. >> and race? >> it appears they may be asian. >> reporter: atlanta police then dispatching officers to check nearby similar businesses. >> this started up in cherokee co

, part of atlanta. he is to do my radio show from there one point in my career to try to separate from atlanta at the city over the recent crime surge. the nation is so divided with so many issues, prosperity, freedom, capitalism versus socialism, new green deal is over energy independence, open borders and amnesty versus secure borders, defunding the police versus "law & order." it's a trend now that we apparently are seeing mark will make more and more of, and apparently it's the way they look at the country, it's almost unrecognizable from the lives they are living. separating one from another with the country literally dividing itself. the federal resolution that admitted the state of texas into the union contains language that actually indicates that texas if they wantedve could split into fivent different states. of course for that too happen it would likely still need congressional approval but that's up for constitutional review which is why we brought in the great one, the host of the number on

first, let's go to cnn's amara walker in atlanta. atlanta police say their investigation is now far from over. what's the latest? >> reporter: first off, not too long ago this crowd behind me near one of the crime scenes gathered to condemn anti-asian hate. so that rally is underway right now, but we did just hear from the atlanta police department. we learned that the suspect had frequented these two spas before, he was quite familiar with them. he had purchased the gun the day of the shooting. atlanta police also emphasizing the fact that their investigation is slightly different from that of the cherokee county sheriff's department saying there are four asian women killed at these two spas in atlanta. they say they're looking at everything to determine whether or not this was racially motivated. >> our investigation is looking at everything, so nothing is off the table. >> reporter: as investigators take a hard look into what motivated the suspect to go on the mass shooting spree that left eight dead, including six asian women. th

, cherokee county sheriff's office as well as the mayor of atlanta on the shootings in atlanta last night. major headlines there, at least from the police. they caution, it is still too early to definitively determine motive. they say in an interview with the suspect, he claims this was an issue of taking out places of temptation, that's how he described it. they are saying at this point, indications that it may not be racially motivated. also saying he was on his way to florida perhaps to carry out more killings. we have our josh campbell with us to help us digest this. also find it notable, josh, that they say the suspect's family was essential in helping police track them down. that becomes more important. it appears he was on his way to commit more violence. >> i think it's worth noting, jim, just an incredible job by law enforcement quickly coordinating with each other. obviously a tragedy, but we have to note just what took place. you had a suspect moving across multiple jurisdictions. you had law enforcement coordinating with each other. as you mentioned, the family, after law enfo

i mean, i live in atlanta. so when, you know, i heard what had happened six out of the eight victims being asian women that really hit close to home, don, literally. and figuratively. and it's a scary time right now for asians. i mean, this is real, the fear is real. and we are under siege. >> keyung you covered a bunch of campaign events this past year, you reported about it here on this show and all of cnn programming, places where people asked where you were from, or if you speak english, you're always very professional about it but it has to affects you. no? >> i'm shockingly used to it. i think the best way to put it is that i'm numb to it. and it really brought it hope last month when i was with my white producer, kim berriman, at a conservative region where there are very few asians and she gets into the car and she says why is everybody asking where are you from? and it's something that you just get used to, feeling like you just don't belong. and you just plod ahead. but the reality is, is that you do

atlanta area is a reminder all of us are vulnerable at this time. these last few days have been extremely painful. >> this is emotional. it's not intellectual. this impacts all of us. >> reporter: many leaders at the event say they can sadly see what happened in georgia coming a year ago and want to be as preventative as possible to make sure violence against asians don't escalate. chris reyes, abc 7 news. >>> a solidarity event is planned tomorrow in chinatown held in portsman square on kearny street to give people the space they need to mourn. it starts at noon and is supposed to end at 2:00. it will be family friendly and there will be translators. people are being urged to rsvp through a facebook page. that's where you should do that. >>> start of building a better bay area is fighting for racial and social justice. we don't have the all the answers, bewe have a lot of resources to help you. to find your ally, go to abc7news.com/takeaction. >>> the governor says the state could abandon their eligibility tiers by may making shots available for an

our correspondent joins us live from atlanta where we understand we just had a winner projected in one of the two senate races. what can you tell us skyler? >> reporter: good evening, just in the last four or five minutes cbs news has projected that reverend raphael warnock from right here in atlanta has the in the incumbent senator kelly leffler which is certainly significant because that means the democrats have at least one seat on that important balance of power on capitol hill in terms of the senate. now it remains to be seen as to what happens in the other race between david perdue and jon ossoff. and based off of certain polling reporting we've seen up until this point, the results are certainly in favor of the democrats as we have seen throughout the night here. really, that is something we've heard throughout the day after speaking with some voters in and around atlanta. we've been all around the state for the past few days very many democratic voters wanting to maintain that momentum they had in georgia, voting for joe biden as opposed to president trump. it's the first time

police say the shootings happened at 3 atlanta area massage parlors. >> started in northeast atlanta where 3 women were killed at a spa. a 4th woman was then killed in a spot across the street and earlier in the afternoon, 3 people were killed and 2 others were injured at a different besides parlor in the area. the 8th victim was shot in a nearby county. police say they found the suspect about a 150 miles southwest of atlanta right now. they're investigating what led up to the shootings, but because many of the victims again or asian investigators will examine if this rampage is a series of hate crimes and we'll have much more on this breaking news coming up on kronfon at 7 o'clock with our so hot from hernia and also on our primetime lineup. >> tonight. i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current

right now they are so fed up, they are ready to get out of atlanta and divorce atlanta. of the second reason the landmark maintains a place of significance is because we have been here before.

now six asian women are killed in atlanta. one group that tracks hate crimes against asian americans says that the incidents are spiking. nearly 3800 complaints of violence and harassment over the last 12 months. and many believe what the former president trump aggravated the situation by constantly blaming china for the pandemic and the downturn in america's economy, using loaded terms like the china virus. he did it again last night. >> we were the envy of the world. and then when we got hit by as i call it, the china virus, covid, it obviously went down along with every other economy. >> i want to bring in our new york congresswoman grace ming. last year she sponsored a resolution condemning hate violence against asian americans that passed in the house. but 164 republicans voted it down. representative ming, thank you so much. i appreciate you joining us this evening. it's a very important topic. so let's discuss. that was just last night. shortly before we learned of the shootings in atlanta. is there any surprise that ha

drew griffin joins us in atlanta. i understand, drew, you have some new information on election misinformation that's swirling out there online. what are you learning? >> reporter: it's just a conflicting message, largely aimed at republicans that have been getting inundated in their mailboxes and in their social media sites. according to advanced democracy, a nonpartisan group which analyzes social messaging, the amount of posts surrounding the georgia election has doubled in the last week, not surprising. what is surprising is four of the top five twitter posts around this election are from donald trump himself, wolf. all four of them involve unsubstantiated or incendiary claims about voter irregularities or voter fraud in the state. one of them actually, i have to point out to you, said, this is from president trump, "when are we going to do signature verification in fulton county." i'm here in the fulton county election center. they're on break right now, a dinner break. but there is a whole section of this group
