Seven Months Later, the Government Still Hasn't Fixed CDC's Shot-up Windows
More than 180 shots shattered around 150 custom blast-resistant windows during the shooting; replacements require custom manufacturing and depend on weather conditions, CDC officials said.
- The CDC is replacing windows damaged seven months ago during an August attack. "We're working on that," Acting Chief Jay Bhattacharya said, adding that repairs are underway this month.
- In August 2025, Patrick Joseph White fired more than 180 shots into the CDC campus, shattering about 150 blast-resistant windows and scattering glass shards throughout the facility. No employees were injured, though many were terrified.
- Each window requires custom fabrication and weather-dependent installation, delaying the project. Many employees expressed frustration with Health Secretary Robert Kennedy, who oversees the agency but did not meet with staff after surveying the damage.
- Bhattacharya successfully petitioned Kennedy to rename the agency's road entrance after David Rose, the police officer killed while responding to the attack. The gesture honors the fallen officer.
- Kennedy, a former anti-vaccine movement leader selected by President Donald Trump to oversee federal health agencies, has faced scrutiny for his statements regarding COVID-19 vaccine safety. His leadership of the agency remains contentious.
