Emory University Shooter Kills Officer Targeting CDC Over COVID Vaccine

A shooting incident occurred at Emory University in Atlanta, near the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) campus, resulting in the deaths of the suspect and a police officer. Authorities believe the suspect targeted the CDC building due to his belief that he was sick from the COVID-19 vaccine, a motive supported by information from his family. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect, dressed in black, with a rifle firing multiple shots toward the CDC facility. The CDC campus was placed on lockdown during the incident, which has since been lifted following police confirmation that the shooter is deceased. Officials remain in the early stages of investigation but acknowledge the suspect’s anger and alleged sickness related to the vaccine as factors in the attack. The event adds to a series of firearm-related incidents targeting public institutions across the country.
