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
