Shooter who attacked CDC headquarters was a 30-year-old man from suburban Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) — Investigators identified a 30-year-old man from suburban Atlanta on Saturday as the person who opened fire on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, killing a police officer and spreading panic through the health agency and nearby Emory University.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said the shooter was Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, Georgia. Officer David Rose of the DeKalb County Police Department was mortally wounded Friday while responding. No one else was hit, although police said four people reported to emergency rooms with symptoms of anxiety. Many CDC employees sought cover in their offices as bullets hit the agency’s headquarters.
