Dallas police have stepped up security around Asian businesses after it was revealed that the Hair World shooting may have been a hate crime.
- The Dallas Police Chief made a startling about face today and now says the shooting of three employees of an Asian community hair salon could very well be a hate crime.
We have seen two Dallas Police patrol cars here all day and evening, assigned to this Asian shopping center. It led the Dallas Police Department to suggest that the motive of the well disguised shooter driving a maroon minivan could be targeting Asians. He also plans to take other measures in case the violence is fueled by hate."Out of an abundance of caution, we have reached out to our partners to make them aware of the possible connection and ask for their assistance. This includes the FBI and member industries of the Joint Terrorism Task Force."
