Eight people were killed Tuesday in shootings at three Atlanta-area spas. A suspect has been taken into custody in connection with one of the shootings, and Atlanta police said it is "extremely likely" he is also the suspect in the other two shootings. At around 5 p.m., a shooting at Young's Asian Massage in Cherokee County killed four people, two of whom died after being transported to a hospital, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff's office. A fifth victim was injured and also transported to a hospital.

Later, three people were shot and killed at Gold Spa on Piedmont Road in Atlanta.

Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said all four victims from the Piedmont Road shootings were female and "appear to be Asian."

The South Korean Foreign Ministry confirmed to CBS News that at least four of the eight victims were of Korean descent. Cherokee County Police identified Robert Aaron Long, 21, of Woodstock, as a suspect in the Young's Asian Massage shooting. Long was taken into custody Tuesday night in Crisp County, Georgia.
