ATTANTA (AP)-Investigators have identified a 30-year-old from the suburbs of Atlanta on Saturday as a person who opened fire on US centers to control diseases and prevent them, kill a police officer and spread panic through the Health Agency and the nearby Emori University.
Georgia’s Investigation Bureau said the shooter is Patrick Joseph White from Kenissao, Georgia. David Rose was injured by a Decal County police officer on Friday while responding. No one else was injured, although the police said that four people had informed the emergency rooms of anxiety. Many employees of the Disease Control Center sought to cover their offices, as the bullets rid the agency’s headquarters.
Police say White opened fire on the campus from the street, leaving lead holes in windows and the sidewalk enlarged outside the CVS pharmacy with bullet covers. The attack prompted a huge response to law enforcement of one of the most prominent public health institutions in the country.
The law enforcement official told Associated Press that the fire was removed by the guards when he tried to reach the campus, then went to a place near the pharmacy and began shooting. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that he was armed with a long pistol and the authorities regained at least three other firearms at the scene.
The law enforcement official said that the suspect’s father reached the authorities and identified his son as a potential shooter. The father told the authorities that his son was annoyed by the death of his dog and seemed depressed due to the Covid-19 vaccine.
Kennedy communicates with the employees of the Disease Control Center
Director Suzan Monarerez said in a post on X, and dozens of effects were visible from outside the campus, that at least four buildings of diseases control centers were beaten. The photos shared by employees showed carried windows in offices, where thousands of scientists and employees work on critical diseases research.
The Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “We know how our colleagues in public health shaken today. No one should face violence while working to protect the health of others.”
Some of the employees who were developed by the expressions of Solidarity made by Kennedy refused in an email “dear colleagues”, and called for his resignation.
“Kennedy is directly responsible for the workforce of the workforce at the Center for Disease Control through his constant lies about the safety of science and the safety of vaccine, which fueled the climate of hostility and lack of confidence,” said Fire but the fighting.
The group also called for the resignation of Russell Vogue, referring to a video clip that was recorded before Trump appointed the office of the director of the administration and the budget with orders to dismantle many federal government.
“We want the bureaucrats painfully affected,” said in the video, which was obtained by the Propublica and the documented research collection. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them not to want to go to work, because they are increasingly seen as the wicked. We want their financing to be closed … We want to put them in shock.”
The request for a comment from Vogue Agency has not been returned immediately.
Lumin from workers blame the Trump administration
Hundreds of employees of the Protected Diseases Center in place during the shooting and many were unable to leave for hours after that on Friday, when the investigators met witnesses and collected evidence. Employees have been encouraged to work from the two house or take leave.
The workers of the Center for Disease Control has already faced future unspecified contracts due to financing discounts, workers’ demobilization and political disputes over the mission of their agency. The “Save the CDC” signs are common in some neighborhoods of the Atlanta region, and calls on a group of comfortable employees to take action from elected officials to decline against the Trump administration discounts.
“This was the shooting” material embodiment of the narration that took over, attacking the flag, and attacking our federal workers, “said Sarah Bouem, the former communications employee who was launched this year during a wave of finishing.
Bouem said: “It is a devastating matter.” “When I saw the picture of those windows that were shot, I really lost it,” she said with her voice.
An audio mail left left on the page of the White family in public records immediately on Saturday morning.
Covid-19 vaccines are not confident
A White neighbors told Atlanta Journal COMASTATASTA that White spoke with her several times about the lack of confidence in Covid-19 vaccines.
Nancy Halst, who lives in the same dead, said the White family, that he seemed to be a good man, “while he was doing the work of annihilation and walking for neighbors, but he puts the vaccines even in the relevant talks.
“It was very unstable and he thought heavily that vaccines hurt him and harm others.” He said to Atlanta. “I thought this categorically.”
But Halst said that she did not believe that White would be violent: “I had no idea that he believed that he would take it on the center of diseases control.”
“We do not know at this time whether it is officers or if it is in particular,” said Atlanta police chief, Darren Sheribum, Atlanta police chief on Friday.
The killed officer leaves the wife and 3 children
He was armed with a long pistol, and the authorities regained three other firearms at the scene, according to the law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Dikaleb province said that Rose, 33, was the former naval infantry that served in Afghanistan, graduated from the Police Academy in March, and soon obtained the respect of his colleagues for his dedication, courage and professional competence.
“This evening, there is a wife without a husband. There are three children, one who was not born, without a father,” said Dekalb Lorraine Cochran-Johnson.
Outside the complex, which includes four floors of apartments over the CVS store, some people came on Saturday to see what happened.
Sam Atkins, who lives in Stone Mountain, said armed violence seems to be a “reality of life” now: “This is a daily thing that happens here in Georgia.”
Monares recently praised the police response and took personal work on Monday, and informed the employees in an email on Friday that the shooting brought “fear, anger and anxiety for all of us.”
