No other people were killed or physically wounded in the shooting, during which multiple rounds were fired in the CDC campus, police said.
The police officer was later identified as 33-year-old David Rose of the DeKalb County Police Department. He left behind a pregnant wife and two children, the department said in a statement.
Schierbaum said it was too early in the investigation to comment on reports by CNN and the New York Times that the gunman blamed the coronavirus vaccine for an unspecified illness he may have had.
The shooting began before 5:00 pm local time (2100 GMT) near the CDC campus and a pharmacy, Schierbaum said.
“The shooter is deceased, and we don’t have any civilians that have been shot in this active shooter incident,“ Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens told reporters.
“We at @CDCgov are heartbroken by today’s attack on our Roybal Campus,“ CDC director Susan Monarez wrote on X, praising the “courageous” policeman who was killed.
“We ask that you join us in holding them in our prayers, along with those harmed this evening near the CDC Center.” - AFP
