Overview

• HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. toured the CDC’s Edward R. Roybal campus Monday with agency leaders to inspect extensive bullet damage.
• Security at the Atlanta campus remains heightened, with employees offered remote-work options, identifying decals removed from vehicles, and key meetings shifted to virtual formats during damage repairs.
• The Georgia Bureau of Investigation continues its extended probe into the attack, and authorities have yet to determine whether the shooter’s death was self-inflicted or caused by police.
• Internal CDC memos show the gunman fired roughly 180 rounds and shattered about 150 windows across multiple buildings, with blast-resistant glass pierced and repairs expected to take weeks.
• The CDC staff union linked the shooting to vaccine disinformation after reports that the 30-year-old gunman blamed COVID-19 vaccines for his health problems, calling on HHS to publicly denounce misinformation and bolster employee protections.
