An officer was injured Friday in a shooting at Emory University’s Atlanta campus that ended with the suspect dead.
The suspect died of gunshot wounds, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at a news conference.
Schierbaum said 911 calls about an active shooter came in around 4:50 p.m. for 1600 Clifton Road, immediately in front of the CDC campus.
When officers responded to the scene, Schierbaum said they found the critically injured DeKalb County officer. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he remains.
Schierbaum said officers heard gunfire inside a CVS at the intersection, and went inside the building to try to locate the shooter.
The suspect was found on the second floor of the building that housed the CVS. Schierbaum said he had been hit by gunfire, but that officers are not sure if the wounds were self-inflicted or from police fire.
He died at the scene, Schierbaum said.
Schierbaum said the CDC campus “did receive multiple rounds into their buildings” but officials were not aware of any injuries that occurred there.
Four other people took themselves to the hospital where they were treated for stress and anxiety symptoms, Schierbaum said.
There were 92 children at a daycare on the CDC campus in Atlanta when a shooting took place nearby, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.
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.
“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.
