An arsenal of weapons, including two AR-15s and a shotgun, were seized Sunday during the arrest of a man accused of attempted murder, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

Christopher Barnard Lindsey, 27, is accused of shooting at a man in a car in the 2800 block of Northwest Fourth Street in Pompano Beach on March 7. The man was shot twice in his left shoulder. Bullets also struck the car he was in, investigators said.

A stray bullet struck a nearby home, but no one was injured.

Lindsey was arrested Sunday at his father’s home in the 2700 block of Northwest Fourth Street near Fort Lauderdale. A SWAT team and fugitive task force members were present.

Law enforcement searched the home and confiscated six weapons, including a Glock handgun, a shotgun, two AR-15 rifles, a high-capacity magazine and ammunition.

During questioning, Lindsey admitted to the shooting and said that he used an AR-15, detectives said.

The man Lindsey allegedly shot was treated at Broward Health North medical center. Detectives did not disclose the victim’s identity, citing Marsy’s privacy law.

Lindsey is charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm in public and criminal mischief. He remains in the Broward County Main Jail without bond, records show.

Christian leaders wrestle with shooting suspect’s Southern Baptist ties

Raymond Chang, a Korean American who is head of the Asian American Christian Collaborative, said he was disappointed but not surprised to learn that Long was an SBC member.

“One of the things that is difficult about White evangelical Christian churches and spaces is that they struggle to talk about race and racism in any meaningful way and create conditions in which racism and white supremacy can sadly flourish,” said Chang, who is campus minister at the evangelical Wheaton College outside Chicago.

Many leaders of predominantly White evangelical churches say churches should simply focus on preaching the gospel, Chang said. “Their version of just preaching the gospel is like treating every illness with Advil or chemotherapy instead of treating it with medical precision,” he said. “Jesus spoke against specific sins.”

Chang said people of color within White evangelical spaces who try to help on issues of race are often silenced or pushed out, or they burn out. The SBC, he said, seems to consistently spend more energy on resisting efforts to dismantle racism than addressing racism within its church.

“A lot of people wouldn’t be surprised that he came out of an SBC church,” Chang said. “They need to wrestle with whether they had a part systemically in the long chain of discipleship in producing someone that could do something like this.”

Many Asian Americans have become accustomed to hearing about violence, even though this particular rampage has drawn nationwide attention, said Michelle Reyes, vice president of the Asian American Christian Collaborative. Reyes said many in her community, including Indian Americans, are reeling over the shootings.

“I hope that it can be a turning point in talking about Asian women, in particular,” she said. “It feels very personal.”

Duke Kwon, a Korean American pastor at Grace Meridian Hill in Washington, said that during the past year, members of his church have expressed fear about appearing in public, citing rhetoric that has attached the coronavirus spread to Asian Americans.

“Even if it took place in Atlanta, there’s the sense that this could be … my grandmother, my brother, my sister,” Kwon said.

He said he was disappointed the suspect had a connection to a Christian church.

“Again and again, we see different versions of an insidious relationship between racism and perversions of Christian faith,” Kwon said. “The time is long past that we have more public conversations about this, and we get to the root of it.”

Owen Lee, pastor of a large majority Asian American church called Christ Central Presbyterian in Centreville, Va., said his 17-year old son texted him on Wednesday morning: “Dad, why are they killing our people?”

“What do you say to your son?” Lee said.

He said he was grateful that his non-Asian American friends messaged him to ask how he was doing and to say that they stand with him.

“Asians are created in the image of God, worthy of respect and kindness,” he said. “It feels ridiculous that we would even have to articulate that.”

Lee said he is exhausted by people, including pastors, who deny systemic racism.

“I wish my White pastor friends would take racism far more seriously than they do, that they would preach the central doctrine, educate their people, that this is not how you treat people, regardless of skin color,” he said. “It’s not shocking but profoundly disappointing that this person was a member of a Christian church.”

Congress was set to debate the issue this week. A House panel will hold a hearing on Thursday addressing the rise in anti-Asian American hate and discrimination, its first since 1987 on the issue, with testimony from lawmakers and advocates including Chu. An anti-hate crime bill proposed by Chu and other lawmakers is likely to come up during the hearing as lawmakers consider their response to the rise in hate.

The shootings could breathe new life into efforts to pass legislation addressing the hate incidents. Asian American lawmakers introduced legislation addressing the issue in the last Congress, but other than the House's passage of a nonbinding resolution condemning anti-Asian bigotry and discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic, no legislation was signed into law.

"We stand in full and complete solidarity with our Asian American brothers and sisters throughout the country, and we will not rest until we stop Asian hate in America," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., a member of House Democratic leadership.

Democrats have laid much of the blame for the increase in hate incidents at former President Donald Trump's feet, citing his use of derisive terms for the coronavirus. Trump "clearly stoked the flames of xenophobia against AAPIs with his rhetoric," Chu said, and ignored warnings from advocates and lawmakers and "doubled down" the rhetoric.

The result of the rhetoric was the shooting, the latest in a string of racially-motivated incidents around the country, Chu said. "It's clear the individuals were targeted because they are amongst the vulnerable in our country, immigrant Asian women," Chu told reporters.

Local police said Wednesday it was too soon to tell if the killings at the massage parlors were racially motivated but could possibly have been linked to sexual addiction.

Yale University Sociology Department Chair Grace Kao, an expert on Asian American studies, said it was hard to disentangle race from the killings.

The shooter had targeted Asian American women, and given how "Asian American women have been viewed as exotic and feminine objects in US mass media and suspected of prostitution from the earliest US immigration restrictions," the suspect could easily have viewed Asian American women in the same manner, she said.

"If you talk to the average Asian American woman, most of us have been subject to varying degrees of sexual harassment that targets our gender and racial identities," Kao said. "They do not exist separately in the lives of individuals."

At least eight people were killed in three shootings at spas in Atlanta on Tuesday night and six of the victims have been identified as women of Asian descent. A 21-year-old man is in custody and police are investigating the motive.

Lieu initially focused on the deaths and the possibility that the shootings were a hate crime. Many of his Democratic colleagues made similar comments.

"According to this report, 6 of the 8 murder victims in the Atlanta area mass shooting are Asian women," Lieu tweeted.

"Was this a hate crime? We need more evidence. But we do know the alleged murderer targeted three locations where the victims would disproportionately be Asian women."

Lieu later shared a tweet from actor and comedian Mindy Kaling mourning the loss of life and highlighting what she called "the normalizing of anti-Asian hate speech in the past year."

"The former President used racist phrases like Kung Flu that inflamed discrimination against the Asian American community," Lieu wrote in response.

"Officials that continue to use ethnic identifiers in describing the virus are part of the problem. Please instead be a part of the solution. #StopAsianHate."

Trump frequently referred to COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" or the "Wuhan virus." The disease was first reported in Wuhan, a central Chinese city, and Trump sought to link the virus to his frequent criticisms of China as an adversary of the U.S.

He used the term "kung flu" for the first time on June 21, 2020 at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A combination of "flu" and "kung fu," an umbrella term for Chinese martial arts, the phrase was quickly criticized for having racist and anti-Asian connotations.

"It has more names than any disease in history. I can name kung flu. I can name 19 different versions of names," Trump told the crowd.

Before the June 21 rally, Trump had already defended his use of phrases like "Chinese virus", telling reporters in March, 2020 that his choice of language was "not racist at all. It comes from China. I want to be accurate."

Atlanta police have said Robert Aaron Long is the suspect in all three shootings but have not yet revealed the suspected motivation for the killings.

Newsweek has asked Trump's office for comment.

Biden pointed out the significance of he and Putin having a known history of acquaintance.

“I know him relatively well,” Biden said, adding that “the most important thing dealing with foreign leaders in my experience … is just know the other guy.”

Of Putin, Biden said he does not think the Russian leader has a soul. Biden reiterated what was an old comment, saying in the ABC interview that in response to the former Republican president George W Bush’s comment that he had looked into Putin’s eyes and seen his soul, Biden had noted at the time that he had done the same and told the Russian president to his face that he thought he did not have a soul.

“I did say that to him, yes. And his response was ‘we understand one another’,” Biden said, adding: “I wasn’t being a wise guy, I was alone with him in his office, that’s how it came about.”

Asked by Stephanopoulos if he thought Putin was a killer, Biden responded in the affirmative: “Mmm hmm, yes I do.”

Meanwhile, Biden said that it would be “tough” for the US to meet a 1 May deadline set by Trump to withdraw troops from Afghanistan but that the complete drawdown would not take much longer.

The deadline to end America’s longest war six weeks from now was set under an agreement reached by Trump and the Taliban, without the buy-in of the Afghan government.

Biden said he was consulting with allies on the pace of the drawdown. Of meeting the 1 May deadline, he said it “could happen, but it is tough”. If the deadline is extended, he added, it won’t be by “a lot longer”.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/newlyweds-romantic-night-at-atlanta-massage-parlor-turned-to-terror/ar-BB1eGYij?ocid=msedgntp

Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez and her husband of less than a year wanted the night to themselves away from their kids on Tuesday.

To mark the special occasion, the newlyweds went to Young’s Asian Massage in Cherokee County, the 33-year-old’s younger sister, Dana Toole, told The Daily Beast.

“She was supposed to be enjoying a fun time with her husband,” Toole said, noting that her sister was mom to a 14-year-old son and an 8-month-old daughter.

But the romantic getaway took a tragic turn after 21-year-old Robert Long allegedly entered the Asian massage parlor, fatally shooting Yaun and three others, before hitting up two other massage parlors in a rampage that he blamed on his sexual-addiction issues. In total, Long killed eight people, six of them Asian women.

[Yaun’s daughter] is not even going to get to know her mom,” Toole, 29, told The Daily Beast, adding that she believes it was the couple’s first time at the massage parlor. “How do you explain that?”

Yaun, described as outgoing and family-oriented, is one of four victims to be identified so far. Authorities say that after Long killed four people inside Young’s Asian Massage—and injured a fifth who is in critical condition at a local hospital—he went to two other parlors and killed four more people.

He was eventually nabbed on a highway two hours south of Atlanta after a police chase. His family helped police track him down. He admitted to police he was on his way to a pornography-related venue in Florida, authorities said in a Wednesday press conference, adding that it was “very likely there would have been more victims.”

The other victims of the Young’s parlor incident have been identified as Daoyou Feng, 44; Paul Andre Michels, a 54-year-old business owner who had been married for over two decades; and Xiaojie Tan, a 49-year-old who appeared to own at least two massage parlors in Atlanta. Business records indicate one of Tan’s businesses is Young’s.

The identities of the three people found dead at Gold Massage Spa in Atlanta and the person found dead at the Aroma Therapy Spa across the street have not yet been released.

Long, who has been charged with murder and attempted murder, allegedly confessed to police he had sex-addiction issues and went on the shooting spree to “eliminate” the “temptation.”

While the shootings come amid a wave of anti-Asian violence in the United States, authorities say Long allegedly insisted he was not intentionally gunning for people of Asian descent—though police said the investigation is ongoing and the murders could still be categorized as a hate crime.

“It may be the targets of opportunity… we believe he frequented these places in the past and may have been lashing out,” Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said.

Michels, who was killed at Young’s Asian Massage, was described by family members as a hardworking Army veteran who owned an electric company and was a “staunch Republican.”

“He was a gun-owner. He was baptized Roman Catholic,” John Michels, his 52-year-old brother, who lives in Michigan, told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. He added that his brother was interested in “getting in the massage business” and was looking to own establishments.

“Before I would say anything, I would like to see the police do an investigation first,” John Michels said, stressing that he supports the right to due process and Second Amendment rights. “As a veteran, I protected those rights for him. My brother was a veteran of the United States Army Infantry. He served in Germany and Fort Knox. He was in West Germany and Fort Knox Kentucky. He served from 1985-89.”

Michels’ sister, Ann Thornsberry, told The Daily Beast that while they were not a “close-knit family” her brother owned an electrician-related business and had been married for over 20 years.

A family member for Elcias R. Hernandez-Ortiz, the Hispanic man from Acworth who survived the shooting at Young’s on Tuesday, told The Daily Beast the 30-year-old remains in critical condition.

Dana Toole added to The Daily Beast that her family first learned about Yuan’s death after their third sister, who worked across the street from the spa, saw the 33-year-old’s truck in photos from the scene.

“We had no idea she was there until they saw her truck,” Toole says. “We waited four hours to find out what happened.”
