The suspected gunman, 21-year-old Robert Long, told investigators he has a "sex addiction" and said the massage parlor locations he targeted may have been "a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate." Long also allegedly took "responsibility" for the shooting, authorities said Wednesday.
Officials have stressed that the investigation is ongoing, with authorities not making an official determination as to the motive of the attacks, which came amid a documented rise in anti-Asian sentiment nationwide.
