GBI Confirms CDC Shooter Died by Self-Inflicted Wound, Seizes Firearms in Probe

Investigators recovered five guns, hundreds of shell casings and the attacker’s anti-vaccine writings, prompting the CDC to extend remote work during security assessments

Overview

  • The Georgia Bureau of Investigation determined that 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing Officer David Rose and ruled out officer-involved shooting
  • Authorities executed a search warrant at White’s home and the CDC site, recovering five firearms, more than 500 shell casings, electronic devices and written materials blaming COVID-19 vaccines
  • Internal CDC documents show approximately 180 rounds struck campus buildings and shattered about 150 windows—including blast-resistant glass—with Building 21 hit hardest
  • The CDC has advised most staff to work remotely this week, removed identifying vehicle decals and implemented heightened security measures while repairs and threat assessments are under way
  • AFGE Local 2883 and public-health personnel are calling on HHS and CDC leadership to explicitly condemn vaccine misinformation and to strengthen protections for campus workers
