3/17: Suspect arrested after deadly shootings at Atlanta-area spas. Pres Biden tells border crossers "don't come.”

There are fears this morning that a string of deadly shootings at spas in the Atlanta area could be linked to a wave of attacks against Asian-Americans. Eight people were killed and at least one wounded in those attacks yesterday evening, at least half of the victims are believed to be Asian women. Some unaccompanied migrant children, stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border, are due to arrive today at a new, temporary detention center in Dallas. The president is promoting the benefits of his $1.9 trillion COVID relief package in trips around the country. Former President Trump is encouraging Americans, including his supporters, to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. The vaccine effort across Europe is lagging behind the U.S., and COVID cases in some countries there are spiking. Four states in the Deep South are under the highest possible tornado warning for today.
