Summary

According to officials, the suspect in the Atlanta area spa shooting has been charged with murder. Police are still investigating the motive of mostly Asian women. "Racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" present "the most lethal" threats in the United States, according to a new intel report. Suspect claims the shootings were motivated by a sex addiction and that the suspect may have frequented the spas that he targeted, according to officials. The suspect in the killings was heading to Florida, where he may have planned more shootings.  Asian Americans are on high alert after the deadly Atlanta area spa shootings, amid a surge in anti-Asian violence during the Pandemic. Atlanta mayor speaks about the spa shooting spree.  The sheriff's captain describes the suspect as being "at the end of his rope" and "yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did." Election fraud claims "will almost certainly" spur more violence by domestic extremists and that a "small" number of White supremacist extremists "have traveled abroad to network with like-minded individuals", according to a new intel report. The Homeland Security secretary says that "the lone wolf... is our greatest threat in the homeland right now."   To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
