NEWTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Newton residents and officials held a vigil Sunday to support the Asian-American community after a man allegedly shot several people of Asian-American descent in Atlanta last week.
Six of the eight people killed were of Asian descent. At the vigil, Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller said the city supported the Asian-American community.
“To our Asian-American friends in Newton, we stand with you as you can see today, because Asian Lives Matter,” Fuller said.
