ATLANTA -- Members of Congress laid flowers Sunday at the three massage businesses in Georgia where a gunman killed eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, and demanded that prosecutors char

ge the suspect with a hate crime.

New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim said he came to show solidarity with the local Asian American community and try to understand how it felt after the March 16 attack. "For too long in this country, we have made invisible so much of the history and contributions of Asian Americans, specifically Asian American women in this country," she said.

"It is clear that this was a deliberate journey," said California Rep. Judy Chu, who chairs the Asian Pacific American Caucus. She added, "It is clear that you would not choose those three places unless you were targeting Asian women."
