An officer was injured Friday in a shooting at Emory University’s Atlanta campus that ended with the suspect dead.
A DeKalb County officer was injured and was en route to the Emory hospital shortly after the shooting, DeKalb County communications director Dionna Smith said. Atlanta police announced Friday evening that the suspect was dead.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said there were no civilian casualties.
CDC employees said bullets struck the windows of several buildings on their nearby campus.
Staff at a deli near campus locked the doors and hunkered down inside. Brandy Giraldo, General Muir’s chief operating officer, said staffers inside heard a string of gunshots.
“It sounded like fireworks going off, one right after the other,” she said.
The suspect died of gunshot wounds, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at a news conference.
He said officers found the suspect with gunshot wounds after the shooting unfolded and that he succumbed to those injuries at the scene.
It was not clear whether the suspect’s injuries were self-inflicted or from responding officers.
“Twice this week, deranged criminals have targeted innocent Georgians,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said on X.
He thanked the “brave first responders” who “rushed toward the danger to subdue the shooter and save lives, reminding us of just how crucial they are.”
“We ask that you join us in holding them in our prayers, along with those harmed this evening near the CDC Center,” he said.
An active-duty soldier opened fire at an Army post in Georgia on Wednesday, injuring five service members before he was subdued by witnesses and taken into custody, a military official said.
