\n

A police officer has died from injuries sustained while responding to a shooting outside the headquarters of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is near Emory University.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta police department said the incident, which took place on Friday, involved a “single shooter” who is now dead.<\/p>\n

Police identified the officer <\/a>killed as 33-year-old David Rose, who had two children with a third on the way, the BBC’s US partner CBS News reported<\/a>. He had been shot and taken to hospital, where he died of his injuries.<\/p>\n

There have been no reports of any civilian injuries resulting from the shooting, Atlanta city mayor said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

US media, citing an unnamed law enforcement official, reported a theory that the alleged gunman believed he was sick as a result of a coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n

Media reports also suggested the man’s father had called law enforcement on the day of the shooting believing his son was suicidal.<\/p>\n

CDC Director Susan Monarez said the centre was “heartbroken” by the attack.<\/p>\n

“A courageous local law enforcement officer gave his life, and another was injured, after a gunman opened fire on at least four CDC buildings,” she wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

“DeKalb County police, CDC security, and Emory University responded immediately and decisively, helping to prevent further harm to our staff and community.”<\/p>\n

In a press briefing given on Friday, police said they became aware of a report of an active shooter at around 16:50 local time (21:50 BST) at a road intersection “immediately” in front of the CDC campus.<\/p>\n

Officers from multiple agencies responded, including federal and state partners, police added.<\/p>\n

Emory University posted at the time on social media: “Active shooter on Emory Atlanta Campus at Emory Point CVS. RUN, HIDE, FIGHT.” <\/p>\n

The CDC campus received multiple rounds of gunfire into the buildings.<\/p>\n

Police said they found the shooter “struck by gunfire” on the second floor of a CVS pharmacy by the intersection – but could not specify on Friday whether that was from law enforcement or self-inflicted.<\/p>\n

A shelter-in-place was lifted around an hour and a half after the shooting was reported, according to CBS News.<\/p>\n

The police department has since said there is “no ongoing threat” to the campus or surrounding neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Media outlets have reported that CDC employees have been asked to work remotely on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
