Atlanta shooting suspect tells police attacks not racially motivated

Atlanta massage parlor shooting suspect Robert Aaron Long took "full responsibility" for the string of Tuesday night attacks that left eight people dead and another person injured, authorities said Wednesday.

Long, 21, was allegedly on his way to Florida at the time of his Tuesday night arrest and indicated he was potentially going "to carry out additional shootings," Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said at the news conference. Officials stressed that the investigation is ongoing, with authorities not making an official determination as to the motive of the attacks at this time. They said the suspect may have a "sexual addiction" and it was too early in the investigation to say whether they were dealing with a hate crime.  According to police, Long claimed his attacks were not racially motivated, but rather sees the massage parlor locations as allowing him to feed "a temptation" that he was trying "to eliminate," police said.
