US EditionAuthorities Name Gunman in Emory University-CDC Shooting as Patrick Joseph White
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, AUG 10 – Patrick Joseph White, who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his health issues, killed a police officer and fired at multiple CDC buildings before dying at the scene, authorities said.
- On Friday, a man from Kennesaw, Georgia, named Patrick Joseph White, aged 30, opened fire near the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, resulting in the death of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose.
- White first tried to enter the CDC building but was stopped by security, then fired numerous rounds from across the street near a CVS pharmacy.
- The shooting damaged at least four CDC buildings with bullet holes, triggered a large law enforcement response, and caused anxiety among staff and nearby residents.
- Authorities reported White blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his depression and suicidal thoughts, and his father confirmed his fixation on vaccines and distress over his dog’s death.
- The Georgia Bureau of Investigation leads a complex inquiry expected to take time, while CDC officials plan a full security review and mourn Officer Rose's death.
