While police say the accused gunman in the Atlanta-area rampage claimed a sex addiction drove him, six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent and the killings happened against a backdrop of more anti-Asian hate crimes being reported since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

CBSN's Tanya Rivero spoke with Ruth Graham, a national correspondent for the Times covering religion, faith and values, to discuss her article.
