Accused Metro Atlanta spa shooter Robert Aaron Long pleaded not guilty today in a Fulton County courtroom to the killing four women at metro Atlanta spas in March.

Long pleaded guilty in Cherokee County in July for killing four people at Young’s Asian Massage there. While Cherokee County prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty, Fulton County prosecutors are.

All charges are related to three shootings at three asian-owned spas in the metro Atlanta area. One was in Cherokee County and Two were in East Atlanta near Piedmont road and were situated across the street from each other.

Eight people were killed in the shootings and one person was wounded.
