After “a series of shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors left eight dead Tuesday night,” with police arresting “a 21-year-old man who is believed to have confessed to the crimes,” former President Barack Obama used the attack to launch a call for stricter gun control measures.
“Even as we’ve battled the pandemic, we’ve continued to neglect the longer-lasting epidemic of gun violence in America. Although the shooter’s motive is not yet clear, the identity of the victims underscores an alarming rise in anti-Asian violence that must end,” Obama wrote in the first of a series of tweets.
