The 22-year-old man behind the Atlanta-area spa shootings that killed eight people in March pleaded not guilty to four murders in Fulton County. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

       Robert Aaron Long appeared in court Tuesday for the charges related to four deaths at two spas.

       At the brief hearing, his lawyer waived arraignment and entered a not guilty plea to all charges, including murder, aggravated assault and domestic terrorism, and requested additional time to file motions. The next hearing date is slated for Nov. 23.

       He is accused of launching the shooting spree on March 16. Six of the eight victims were Asian women.
