A gunman opened fire on the CDC Atlanta headquarters, killing a police officer, David Rose, and leaving numerous bullet holes in several buildings. The shooter, Patrick Joseph White (30), may have targeted the CDC due to concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine. The attack occurred amidst ongoing vaccine misinformation and proposed budget cuts to the CDC. CDC staff held a Zoom meeting to address the trauma, and the agency is working remotely while a security assessment is conducted. The motive remains under investigation.
