MARYLAND (77WABC) – President Joe Biden stumbled three times while ascending a staircase to board Air Force One on Friday.  At one point, the 78-year-old president slammed his left knee into the metal staircase and nearly ended up on all fours.

The President’s plane was preparing for departure from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to Atlanta – the scene of the killing of eight people, including six Asian women, who were gunned down in three separate shootings at spas in the Atlanta area on Tuesday.

Three days later, the nation and the victims’ families are in mourning, but much remains unknown about the eight lives lost.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office on Friday released the names of four women killed in shootings at two Atlanta spas.

They were identified as Soon C. Park, 74; Hyun J. Grant, 51; Suncha Kim, 69; and Yong A. Yue, 63.

Three of the women died from a gunshot wound to the head, and one from gunshot wounds to the chest, the medical examiner’s office said. All four deaths were ruled homicides.

The victims were among eight people who were killed when a gunman opened fire Tuesday at two spas in Atlanta and one north of the city in Cherokee County.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office identified those victims as Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33; Paul Andre Michels, 54; Xiaojie Tan, 49; and Daoyou Feng, 44. One man, Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, was wounded.

Six of the people killed were of Asian descent, officials said.

Vice President Kamala Harris is also heading to Atlanta but on a different flight as per protocol.
