At least eight people have been killed in three separate shootings in the US after a gunman went on a deadly rampage.
A man entered three massage parlors in Georgia and opened fire.
Eight people died and at least one person was injured in the attacks.
Robert Aaron Long, 21, was arrested in Crisp County, north of Atlanta, about three hours after the killings took place, local media reported.
Cherokee County sheriff’s Captain Jay Baker said authorities believe Long is the suspect in all three shootings.
The first shooting took place at around 5pm (local time), where five people were shot at Youngs Asian Massage Parlor in Acworth.
Two of the victims were found dead at the scene and three were transported to hospital. Two of those victims later died from their injuries.
Almost an hour later, about 50km away, police were called to another shooting at Gold Spa in northeast Atlanta, where officers found three women dead with gunshot wounds.
A fourth woman was found dead at Aromatherapy Spa across the street.
The motives behind the violent rampage are still unclear.
