The man kills seven Asian people. Six of them are women. Police do not know why the man does it. They do not know if the man plans to kill Asian people.
Police arrest the man. He will go to court.
More attacks on Asian-Americans happen during the coronavirus pandemic. Some people are angry because the coronavirus comes from Asia.
