I want to thank also our local college police officers and also our Atlanta public schools, police office, as well as neighboring jurisdictions, the state of Georgia and the federal government that has all chipped in on this support today. We also have strong coordination with our fire and rescue and emergency medical personnel. And last but not least, we must thank our E 9-1-1 operators who spent the day fielding calls as we track this suspect. I am pleased to share with you that thanks to our strong partnership with Cobb county police department, law enforcement, have taken the suspect into custody. Thanks to the highly trained police officers across our region, we are able to bring the suspect into custody without further harm. He will be charged and stand trial for his crimes. Not only did law enforcement bring this man into custody, they also kept our community safe during an enormously tense afternoon and evening. I want to thank our citizens for keeping calm, staying in place and for providing critical information to law enforcement throughout the day. Now I'm going to turn it over to law enforcement to share an update and I'll return to share a few additional remarks later. Now I turn it over to APD, police chief Darren shirvan. Thank you, mayor. I want to thank the members of the press for being here this evening. You all have played an important role today as we kept citizens both in Atlanta and cop county and formed, asked for their assistance as we sought the apprehension of this very dangerous perpetrator. And thank you for returning tonight to again update those of our various communities. The mayor spoke today of a capable competent and brave response by the first responder network that served not only the city, but this region. And I just want the men and women of the Atlanta police department to know those that are in our 9-1-1 center, our first responding officers or tactical teams are investigators, how proud yet again I am view of the work that you have done today on behalf of the city. And in the most dire of circumstances you have shown what you do daily for the men and women that call this city home and those who visit here. But if you look closely on the earliest views from the crime scene, you saw not only the Atlanta police department responding. If you saw a network of officers representing multiple agencies who have trained for this various outcome, mister mayor over and over again, that a day that this tragedy should befall the city that we would be ready. And I stand here today to tell you that the first responder network was there today for their city. The sheriff of Fulton county sheriff labat, the Georgia state patrol, the Marta police department, Georgia Tech, police department at Georgia state university, Marshals, they were all on scene quickly, executing their active shooter protocol to stop the situation. And then very shortly we were joined by the GBI, the FBI, the Secret Service, as well as the United States marshal services. We sought to bring the person in custody. And that investigation soon showed us that this perpetrator had left the city and remained a threat elsewhere and sheriff and who I just want you to know that we are a grateful city tonight for the year partnership and the efforts of your law enforcement agency to take this individual into custody. And then this morning we celebrated the bravery of Atlanta fire rescue. Not far from here as their annual communication of firefighters day. And to see the paramedics and firefighters when we did not know where the shooter was. That could easily have still been in the building around the corner to see our firefighters dismount their trucks. And chief Smith go into that situation, but it wasn't the first time I've seen that chief because we had seen that in training over and over again. And today, when it was necessary to save lives, we were very proud to see you a strong partnership as we moved into that dangerous situation. And thank you. At this time, I'm going to ask our deputy chief of criminal investigations Charles Hampton to come forward to recap what is transpired today. What we have learned from the investigation and then chief and who's will come forward to outline how his department led to the capture of this perpetrator today. Chief. A good evening. What we do know, we know that shortly before new the subject entered into 1110 wispies street and went to a medical center inside the building. It was shortly thereafter that he shot our first victim and then the first 9-1-1 call came after that. He spent about maybe two minutes inside the building where he then exited it on foot and what we were able to pick up on the camera network system is that he went to a shale gas station where he commandeered a vehicle that car was pickup truck was left running unattended and he took that vehicle. We were able to, again, use video to obtain a tag and immediately place that tag into our LPR system, our license plate reader system. And so at that time, we had to really do some work to figure out where he was at. There was a series of search warrants drafted both here in Atlanta and cop county because we were getting information of residents and other locations that he may go to. So that was done as well. And then roughly around 1230, we received an alert from the ALPR system that he was in cop county. And so that, again, we were on the phone immediately with cop to let them know that this individual. You have to drop it from here. Just want to law enforcement at all levels out there in the Atlanta area. The people of the land in that area

CNN says a high level source with the Atlanta police department told them, according to Patterson's mother, the suspect was seeking new treatment. After being dissatisfied with the carry was receiving from the Department of Veterans. A veteran's affairs. CNN has reached out to the VA for comment, the suspect was a former coast guardsman. Patterson entered the coast guard in July 2018 and he last served as an electrician's mate second class, a statement from the coast guard said he was discharged from active duty in January 2023. Three months ago, really less. Coast guard said the working closely with Atlanta police. Other authorities in the shooting investigation. We have more on the victims. For victims were taken to downtown's Grady memorial hospital, land is only level one trauma center. Three of them became to the hospital in critical condition. We're in the intensive care unit. This evening, while the fourth victim is in stable condition, the three critical patients underwent surgery before they removed to the ICU. One of the critical patients needed surgery for a gunshot wound to the abdomen, while the other for a wound to the yarn, the third patient was taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound to the face. And required an interventional radiology procedure, which is used to stop bleeding by means of catheters inserted directly into blood vessels. The Ford victim, who is unstable, will likely not need surgery. And of course, one of them was killed. Let's see if there's any other. I don't want to go through just the regurgitating stuff. A high level source within the Atlanta police department told CNN the suspect in his mother arrived Wednesday today for a medical appointment for himself. The man at some point became agitated. He started shooting using a handgun. Lena police spokesman. Try to spike similarly, said the man was attending a medical appointment for himself when the shooting occurred. You want to hear this? The police declined to further describe the nature of the appointment citing HIPAA regulations, mister producer. Setting that absurd, the man's mother, who was uninjured, is currently cooperating with the police, she must be a wreck over what she saw in what's going on now. I'm looking if there's more. CNN going on about mass shootings, gun control, so forth. Okay, but in any event, you know, we know now if they go to a live mic alive, press conference will take it because I for one am curious about this. Further curious about this. So this was not, you know, this was not planned and so forth. He was in the coast guard apparently to carry permitted whether he did or not he had his pistol with him. And whatever he was getting treatment for, we don't know. We can guess. He was not happy about the treatment he got, and that led to him. Shooting. He just never know when your number comes up. You never know. Going into a doctor's office sitting in the waiting room, God knows we've all done that. And the next thing you know, and that's. All right, let's move on. A friend of mine sent me this. Trees planted with public money to help Scotland achieve net zero. In terms of carbon emissions, our adding to the nation's carbon emissions and experts says, so they planted trees in order to reduce carbon emissions. Now the weird thing again is the language carbon emissions, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Carbon emissions, so why as a base matter? Why would you plant trees to reduce carbon emissions? Anybody know? Yes, Sally in the back. Yes. How old are you selling? 11? And why would you do that? Because plants need carbon dioxide to treat action. And we actually manifest. Oh, you're not a meteorologist, sorry. What's that? Anyway, so you plant more trees, the argument goes because they suck up the carbon dioxide and they push out the oxygen, right? So they say trees planted with public money to help Scotland achieve net zero or adding to the nation's carbon emissions and experts says how so? Parts of the countryside have been carpeted but conifers in recent years as part of an attempt to reach net zero by 2045. However, a report from Mary Ann smythe as of the crichton carbon center. They have a carbon center. Say that some of the new forests are being planted on peat. Especially in the Southwest. Oh my God. So what? And the journal land use policy, she said, the foresters are digging up and draining large parts of the bog, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As hey, we have been planting the wrong type of forest in the wrong place. And using the wrong techniques, she said. The industry promotes Conifer forests as carbon positive.

Jack Posobiec Unpacks the Latest Manifestation of Antifa Extremism
"Let's place a piece of tape here. This is the Fox report play cut 27. The Atlanta police department is describing Sunday's clash with protesters as a coordinated attack against law enforcement in this video released by the Atlanta PD. You can see things get violent pretty quickly at the site of the $90 million city proposed police and firefighter training facility often referred to as cop city. You see protesters, many dressed in black, many with their faces covered through a large rocks, bricks, fireworks, and molotov cocktails at police. Some of those projectiles just narrowly missing officers who is that guy protesters, protesters. Who are you? What is that guy? That's not a protest. That guy shouldn't be allowed on television. Protesters actually, I actually didn't check that guy's name. I didn't catch it there, but whoever that guy's not tweeted at, that's ridiculous. That's an insult. These are domestic terrorists. Let's show the aerial footage. This is what that clown just called a protest. Doesn't know what he's talking about. He's reading some screen. Let's watch this here. So there's no sound here. We're just going to narrate it, Jack, you can do it alongside me. So folks need to understand what you're looking at. So the white is heat the black is cold. So you see when the clouds come over a little bit, there are some heat there because of the moisture. So what you're looking at is a crowd of 50 to 60 now it switches over to optical image right there. So you're looking at 50 to 60 militants that are spilling out following a path through the forest into this police training facility $90 million. And in fact, there may have been actually, if you look at that, there may be as many as a hundred bears, Charlie. You're looking at a platoon. So how are we looking at military operations? Only 23. Oh, so where are the rest?

Treehouse Antifa Sacks CopCity With Jack Posobiec
"Have down here in Atlanta. Is this situation where when we were told, you know, we're told in the media, we're told in the press, 23 protesters arrested by police and left wing sources are out there saying this, go and watch these videos because we've got flir video from overhead drone imagery that's infrared forward looking infrared flir. Of a crowd that looks to me like 50 to 60 strong in a coordinated attack, spilling forth from the Woods at a police training facility outside of Atlanta, Georgia. This is run by the Atlanta police department. Now Charlie, you remember, as well as I, that it's the left that is always saying the police needs to be better trained. It's always the left saying the police should have, they should have shot him in the arm. They should have tried deescalation. They should have tried everything else. Well, the police said, okay, fine, we're going to go into the Woods and set up a training facility and we're going to do just that. Well, antifa is now attacking it. And people want to laugh about the left using violence. The people want to say, oh, they're not that great at it. Oh, they suck at it, et cetera, et cetera. Guess what? They're actually out there doing it. Because they have something in their movement that I don't always see on the right, and that's called moral clarity. They actually and truly believe in the violent actions that they are doing. And I'm not saying the right should ever condone violence, but my point is the right needs moral clarity in our in our positions and in our values if we were actually going to fight to take back this country. These are the people who fervently believe in destroying our country, tearing it down because they hate the people that run the place now. They hate the people who founded it. They hate our institutions, and they hate the west. And it's as simple as that. You don't need all of the philosophy and ideology to understand. They just hate you, and they want to take away everything that you have. But do we know who the ringleader of this was? This was a domestic leader. This was a domestic terror attack. We don't know specifically who the ringleader was yet, but they call themselves hashtag stop cop city.

Brandon Doesn't Mind If He Doesn't Get an Invite to Mar-a-Lago
"All right, I'm done talking about Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. I know a lot of people and they feelings about it. But I just got to tell it like I feel it. And I like Donald Trump, and I feel bad that I have to say this about him because, you know, I would love to go to Mar-a-Lago and do some of the other stuff and maybe, you know, I don't know, he's sending him a sample to my energy drink or something like that one day, but you know, I really tell the truth and be kissing somebody but just for favors and hanging out and being cool. I've never been that person, man. And listen, I'm really an introvert. I really don't like being around people in the first place. So if I don't get invited to Mar-a-Lago for an event, I don't give a flying flip. I'd rather be at home with my family and my wife and my kid. You know, hanging out, having a good time, being with the staff here at my headquarters. And I don't ever need to be invited to stuff, but see some people don't feel that way. Some people got to keep their hook, you know, 'cause they got donors and they got stuff like that. So they gotta keep the hook in. And it's nothing against them. I don't blame them. If that's your business model, don't miss your business model up. You can divert from these conversations. You move on to the next. If that's what you want to do, but for me, I honestly just say things how I feel them. And I want people to understand that when I say things is that I mean them. I'm not saying that because I feel like I need to say it. I really mean it. I really believe it. And I know there's a lot of people that agree with me. And sometimes they want to say, but they just can't say it because they don't want to get canceled. I understand.

Why Is Donald Trump Bashing Ron DeSantis?
"Right, let me get back to the Donald Trump run to Santa's Donald Trump also said an interview if he runs speaking of desantis, that's fine. I'm way up in the polls. He's going to have to do what he wants to do, but he may run. Okay. Then he goes off and he says about disloyalty. He says, I do think it would be a great act of disloyalty because, you know, I got him in. He had no chance. His political life was over. Trump said. Now, let me just say this. You know, you know, some people just don't learn from anything. And people used to always say Donald Trump is very arrogant person. Donald Trump, he's a narcissist. And I really didn't see that in Donald Trump. And now I'm starting to see some signs of this. I don't know why his handlers and people aren't just saying leave desantis alone. Because when you talk about him, it makes in desantis isn't saying anything about Trump. It's not like they're going back and forth. You know, it's like dating some woman or dating something man. And you know it's over. And they still messaging you. They still texting you text. I miss you, but you like, I ain't texting you not one time 'cause it's done. When I said it was done, it was done. You living rent free in their head. You didn't move on to somebody else. They still text you, like, hey, I'm in the area. What's up? You're like, you did in the water. I don't even know why you texted me. I would block you, but I'm not that petty. This is the same similar situation with Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Like, Donald Trump is still talking about him, but he ain't paying no attention to Donald Trump. And the reason why is because these two people are grown men, and this is not the way grown men

Memphis Police Chief Fired From Previous Job Over Sex Crimes Probe
"Go watch my video on YouTube, but they also Tatum on YouTube and I give you some of the tea of the Memphis police chief and her involvement with covering up a potential child, I would say child alleged child molestation ring thing that was going on. She covered it up and because allegedly, her best friend, one of her good friends, husband was involved. And she ended up getting fired once they realized she was suppressing the investigation and it wasn't going to go anywhere. And then when the FBI got involved, the federal government got involved, they ended up arresting the officer that was involved in it. Or at least the rest of the man that was involved in it. And he ended up going to prison, but you know. Bad beget bad. She should have never been a leader. I call these people affirmative action hires. It's because they need a black face to represent the department, not because of merit. But because they're black. And then they hire people that are not qualified. Should never been a leader and it makes me sick to my stomach. Look, put up the right people. Put up somebody that's going to do a good job, not somebody that matches the skin tone.

Tom Brady Says He's Retiring 'For Good'
"Tom Brady announced announces his retirement from football for good. A 45 year old NFL star posted a video message to fans on Twitter. He said, I'll get to the point right away. He said you're doing a message. I'm retiring for good. Now, I think he retired for good a little too late. Or maybe it was right on time. When your wife leaves you and it appears that you pick football, not you, it appears that your passion was the play another season and it appears from the outside looking in that the wife was not okay with it. He did it anyway and it became a strain in their relationship. Maybe it has been a strain over several years to be honest, I think that you got to be such a trashy woman to leave your man because he's pursuing his passion. Now I don't know if that's the case here, but it does seem kind of weird that she leaves him in his last year planning NFL and then now he officially retires. I think it's a good thing. Maybe he played long enough. He's giving his life and his talents and his time and effort and energy to fans more so, you know, more so than your family. You can't spend that much time with your family when you're gone all the time traveling all the time, playing for different teams. You know, you got to study fam. You got to go to practice. You got to get rehab. I mean, being a football player takes a lot of energy. And people may not understand that. They don't just show up at the game and have fun, right? You got to watch film for hours as a team. And then if you watch film as an individual, you're watching film even longer. And when they play when they play a football game, 60 minutes of punishment, they have to go to rehab. When I say rehab, I'm not talking about a psychological rehab, which some of them may have to go to psychological rehab. But they have to go to a physical rehab. I mean, you got to get massages, you got to get stem on your legs, you know, you have to get all of these different things to make sure you're operating in full capacity. So it's a very significant strain on your family on yourself. And I think that when a person of football player dedicates his life and craft to the game, his family take a hit a little bit.

"WSB in Atlanta. Welcome to this Wednesday edition of Closer Look, I'm Rose Scott. Coming up in just a moment. The technology is called shot spotter, and it can detect where a gunshot originates from in real time Now the Atlanta police Department will give this a test. But first we wanted to know what other police departments were already using Shot spotter. So we called up the Savannah Police Department. People need to understand it's part of a multi faceted Approach to reducing gun violence. That conversation just a moment and many more on today's program.

"I think shot spotter says it only 10 or 20% of the time when people hear gunfire did they reported to the police? And when they do call unless the gun fires occurring in front of their house, they may not know right. So there's we might get two or three calls on gunfire on so then you're sending your officers to multiple locations. Shot spotter gives you Ah, more clear picture in terms of where the officers need to be need to be responding and looking for evidence. How long did you all pilot the program before Green to go ahead and use the technology. Really wasn't involved in the early stages of the system. I became involved later. I think that our relationship has been fairly positive so because it's working. I don't know if we ever politics. I think it was it was It came online. We had to get the right policies and procedures in place to make sure that officers air are using it in the way that the manner they're supposed to. S 01 thing that shocks water did, uh, I know. Looking back at some of the data is it did increase the number of piece of evidence that we're recovering s O. I think one of things that agencies need to be cognizant of That's a good thing. You're collecting more pieces of evidence. But there's also a cost in terms of Staff time to accomplish that, right there. It's now additional work that has to be take. That has to be taken place blogging that stuff into the property room. And from a infrastructure standpoint, did you all have to invest in any other type of technology to accommodate using shots under with your system? No, I don't believe we already were using MDT Zozo, the ruggedized computers and cars. Um s O. The Oscars have that You can also get alerts on their cell phones. I don't believe that there were any any hardware requirements. Captain Gaye is shot spotter able to Differentiate between a vehicle backfiring Fireworks. You know, Fourth of July is coming up isn't able to to make that distinction between those two other types of sounds. So they do have a process in place to try to, uh, eliminate or reduce the number of false positives. Um, is it was any system, but there is a process in place. So if officers writer called the determined Hey, This is a vehicle backfire. This was fireworks captain gave you were to give a recommendation or an assessment, whether it's to the Atlanta Police Department or any other Law enforcement agency about using shot spotter, I think alternates an individual. I mean, obviously, the agency you know in the city needs to make that call and, you know, make that decision whether or not they see value in the system. And I think the biggest thing is talked to other agencies of comparable size. Obviously, Atlanta's much larger than us. And while there's gonna be some similarities, I'm sure there's a lot of differences as well, eh, So I would encourage you to talk to and I'm sure they have done this or you're going to do this reach out to cities on hay and asked them. How is the system work for you? What What processes do you have in place? What is the costs? What is what other benefits on that, I think would help them in their judgment. How they need to handle it makes make their decision. Finally, Captain Gay. What feedback of you? Have you all heard from the officers? What they said about shot spotter. I think for the most part, they appreciate it. I know when I was a young officer on the street. You know, this technology wasn't available. It would have been nice to be able to put put me on the site. You know, sooner one of things we've been working on in the car Investigations Division I called compressing the investigative cycle. So you have to remember when a violent crime occurs. The clock starts ticking, right? The clock starts chicken. That means bad guys are getting away. Evidence is being misplaced or lost, eh? So what we want to do is we wanted to get information as quickly as we can to detectives and officers and other agencies so that they could start taking focused action. Are we looking for a vehicle? We're looking for a person or we're looking for another piece of evidence. Because, you know, minutes start taking. That means a car can get farther and farther away right sooner we get it and we soon as we need to hold that car. It might lead us to a suspect. It might lead us to another piece of really important evidence. So this I think is kind of in alignment with that philosophy of trying to speed up that investigatory process so that we were able to successfully identify suspects and make arrests and you stand by that This technology is pretty accurate in terms of the region. Does it lead you to that exact address or just the vicinity? So there's a radius? I don't remember what it is off the top of my head, but there's a radius of where the gunfire The way it'll be reported. On Ben. That's where the officers go. The expectation is that the office even if there's nobody there, so let's today it's just just a shots fired call. They would park their car to get it out of there. They would get out of their car and Look for evidence of gunfire. From the Savannah Police Department Captain David Gay and we've been talking about the technology that can detect where a gunshot originates from any real time. It's called shot spotter. The Atlanta police Department will pilot this technology. We want to check in with the department that was already using it. So we checked in with Savannah Police Department. Captain Gaye. Thank you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate it. Yes,.

"C I'm Stanley Here on the level on the go and on Wi be si dot com Camera. And Nigel Believe these characters they're weirdos on 93 wnbc. Hello. My name is Jason Hammer. We got the gun guy Guy Welford in for Nigel today. Former Atlanta police officer is back on the force. After the fatal shooting of Ray Shawn Brooks last year at a Wendy's. Do you guys remember this story? Oh, yeah. So Ray Shon Brooks was a 27 year old black guy. He was in the car at Wendy's, and he was passed out. So the police come by. They administer a Breathalyzer test and indicated that Brooks did indeed have a blood alcohol content that was above the legal limit. So they go through the legal process here. He's about to be handcuffed and then Ray Shon Brooks grabbed another officer's Taser. Started to run away. Well. Another officer Garrett Wolfe, Ralph gave Chase and at one point Ratio on Brooks turned around and fired the Taser toward Officer Rolf's head. So in response, he fired three shots, two of which struck Brooks from behind and he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. And if you remember what happened, then guy fires were started. The Wendy's was looted. All hell was breaking loose the day after that. F F s a roof and have such a hard time saying that Officer Ralph was fired and was charged with 11 different counts, including murder, including murder. This past week. This past Wednesday. He was reinstated, but he was put on leave. The Atlanta Civil Service Board released the decision stating this quote. Due to the city's failure to comply. With several provisions of the code and the information received during witness testimony. The board concludes the appellant was not afforded his rights. To due process. Therefore, the board grants the appeal of Garrett Wolfe and revokes the dismissal of an employee of the Atlanta Police Department. So there's a lot of legal stuff going on here, guy. So it kind of feels like this is your wheelhouse here? Taking birds? I look at what you're seeing here. What do you make of this? Well, I mean, there are jobs where you can be fired for basically no reason. Write a song is There aren't some civil rights being violated than your employer could simply say I you don't have a job anymore, And that's that. But a lot of civil service jobs, including police jobs are governed by employment contracts and labor agreements, and there are some requirements for how these people are both hired and fired. And here. The Civil Service Board who oversees these things in Atlanta, looked at this and said, all right under the contract that exists here. There's a requirement before you terminate a police officer that he gets some level of due process, meaning he has to defend himself. Just coming to make his own argument. He gets to present his own evidence. He gets toe be represented by counsel and or union representation, so there's a process here. That's established by agreement. And war by law there in Atlanta and in Georgia, and all they're saying here, they're not saying that ultimately, he should have his job. They're not saying ultimately he's not guilty of a crime. They're just saying the process. By which he had to be terminated. If he was going to be terminated was not followed, and including his right to defend himself. He was just summarily fired. I believe by the mayor. And I think they're coming out saying Wait a minute. The mayor can't just, you know, unilaterally terminate police officers. There's a process to be gone through, and I don't have a bit of problem with that. And I don't think this speaks to whether anyone's defending him or defending what he did, however, you feel about what happened in that Wendy's parking lot. If there's an agreement and or law that says due process has to be afforded someone, then it does, and that's all this says, and he's still facing the charges is not life. The charges have been dropped. He's just allowed to resume. His job at the police department could still be terminated, but but they have to go through the process that's dictated here under the circumstances. If they go through that process, they give him his ability to defend himself. They made down the road still terminate him. They're just saying that process wasn't complied with her. They were talking about this last night on Hannity show. And you had Geraldo and done Dan Bongino. Now these to bump heads all the time. Sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable. There is a point at one time. I think it's a couple weeks ago. Her, although get calling him a punk, so these two kind of have a history. But Gino, of course, has a background in law enforcement. This was a big topic last night. Geraldo doesn't feel like the officer should be able to have his job back. But at the same time is trying to tell everybody he believes in due process. The action taken against the officer was something that was easily.

Misogyny violence against women is not new. The epidemic of gun violence and gun injury is not new. What can be new is how we deal with in this moment. And i want to implore our community and our fellow legislators to not let this moment go by biden and harris who is the first black and asian american vice president has taken on the roles of healers and consoler throughout the pandemic since taking office and now they're addressing another gerona virus related issue that has bubbled up advocacy group. Stop api i hate said. There were nearly thirty. Eight hundred reported instances of anti asian discrimination or attacks last year and before he meets with these community leaders. The president is going to go to the centers for disease control and prevention to check in on the coronavirus response. Let's talk about hate crimes. You mentioned thirty. Eight hundred reported. Instances of anti discrimination last year would these shootings in the atlanta area classify as a hate crime under georgia law. Well steve last year georgia did pass a crime law that would add enhanced penalties if somebody's found guilty of committing a crime against someone because of things like their race gender or sexual orientation. As of now it's early in the investigation and the alleged gunman has only been charged with murder and aggravated assault but hate crimes. Charges are possible. According to law enforcement officials the suspect confessed to the shootings and said it wasn't racially motivated. But members of the asian american community here including state representative be win of atlanta. Said they don't believe it and so when we think about the word of the perpetrator themselves. How many of them are going to admit that. It was a racially motivated. Killing that is why the hate crimes law did pass last session. It was a top priority. Because in georgia we have seen reality violence against black people against asian people in. It's not a new thing wednesday. It's impossible to ignore the facts. Three asian spas were targeted. Six of the victims were of asian descent. But steve even if prosecutors don't agree the twenty one year old committed a crime because of their race other claims he allegedly made could trigger the law under gender based violence. There's been so much focus on the way that law enforcement officials have talked about this case they have at press conferences tried to characterize what the suspect himself claimed about. The day was having a really bad day was the quote or his motives. Who are the officials at the center of controversy. Well there are two different jurisdictions involved. The atlanta police department and character county sheriff's office many people took offense of the way the cherokee county officials talked about the alleged gunman deputies suggested that he had lashed out and was fed up and at the end of his rope and blamed sex addiction for his actions. Members of the asian american community believed that that plays into negative stereotypes about asian americans. And it's victim blaming the women who worked at these spas and that deputy who did make those comments about having a bad day he's been removed as spokesman from the case. Oh he's had some other issues with his social media post. If i'm not mistaken that's correct even thanks for the update. Thank you stephen. Fowler of georgia public broadcasting.
