CDC Director: Misinformation 'Lead to Deadly Consequence' in Atlanta

On August 8, Patrick Joseph White fired over 180 rounds at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, killing police officer David Rose before shooting himself.
White reportedly believed that the COVID-19 vaccine caused him to experience depression and suicidal thoughts, according to his family and officials.
The gunman struck six CDC buildings, breaking about 150 windows, but no one inside was injured, and security officers responded swiftly during the incident.
CDC Director Susan Monarez warned that the spread of false information has resulted in fatal outcomes, while the union called for the installation of bulletproof glass and improved security measures.
The shooting triggered calls for improved safety protocols at CDC, and memorials for Officer Rose have grown outside CDC and police headquarters.
