US EditionMan Fired 180 Shots, Breaking 150 Windows, in CDC Attack
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, AUG 11 – The shooter blamed COVID-19 vaccines for his actions, killing a CDC officer before dying himself, with damage spanning four buildings and over 150 windows shattered.
- On Friday, 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White attacked the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, firing over 180 shots and breaking about 150 windows across four buildings.
- White blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for depression and suicidal thoughts before being stopped by CDC security and later opening fire at a nearby pharmacy, where he killed a police officer.
- CDC leadership assessed the damage over the weekend, advising employees to work from home as repairs could take weeks or months due to shattered blast-resistant windows and glass shards inside buildings.
- Dr. Jerome Adams told Face the Nation that people are paying attention to what health leaders say, cautioning that spreading false information about vaccine safety can lead to harmful outcomes and emphasizing the importance of responsible communication.
- Retired CDC official Stephan Monroe expressed concern about the attack's long-term impact on young scientists' willingness to work for the government, while employee Tim Young linked years of false vaccine rhetoric to mental health tolls and violence.
