The suspect, who was not identified, was being interviewed and
processed, the Dallas Police Department said in a tweet early
Tuesday morning. Chief Edgardo Garcia will release more
information on the arrest later on Tuesday, the Tweet said.
The suspect entered a hair salon in the city's Koreatown section
on Wednesday, and opened fire. The gunman wounded the owner of
the Hair World salon, a stylist who worked there and a customer.
All three were Korean women, according to reports by ABC
affiliate WFAA. They were taken to a local hospital with
non-life-threatening wounds.
While authorities said they did not know the motive behind the
gunfire, the incident recalled the shooting of eight people in
Atlanta-area massage spas, six of whom were Asian or
Asian-American women. Police said they had no evidence that the
shooting was a hate crime but stressed the investigation was in
its early stages.
