A neighbor who spoke with CBS, the American partner of the BBC, said that the suspect was very skinny and was determined that the Covid vaccine made him sick.<\/p>\n
His “beliefs were the core of who he became,” she added.<\/p>\n
CDC director Susan Monarez said that the center was “deeply sad” due to the attack.<\/p>\n
“Dekalb County Police, CDC Security and Emory University responded immediately and decisively, and helped to prevent our employees and community further,” she wrote in a message about X.<\/p>\n
In a press conference on Friday, the police said that they became aware of a report from an active shooter around 16:50 local time (20:50 GMT) that day near the CDC.<\/p>\n
Officers of several agencies responded. The CDC campus received a number of rounds of gunfire in its buildings.<\/p>\n
The police said that they found the shooter “struck by gunfire” – but could not specify or that of law enforcement or had been inflicted herself.<\/p>\n
Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy JR issued a statement that the desk was “deeply sad” by the attack that claimed the life of an officer.<\/p>\n
“We know how shocked our colleagues from public health feel today. Nobody should be confronted with violence while working to protect the health of others,” said Kennedy.<\/p>\n
Kennedy has previously expressed doubts about the side effects of vaccines, in particular Covid -vaccines, and is accused of distributing wrong information.<\/p>\n
Some former CDC employees who were fired as part of the Elon Musk campaign to reduce the government rejected Kennedy’s statement.<\/p>\n
“Kennedy is directly responsible for the villain of CDC’s workforce because of its continuous lies about the safety of science and vaccine, who have fueled a climate of hostility and distrust,” wrote an ex-employee, according to the Associated Press News Agency.<\/p>\n
Another former CDC employee said the outlet that the shooting was “physical embodiment of the story that science took over, attacked and attack our federal workers”.<\/p>\n
Media have reported that CDC employees were asked to work remotely on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
