After speaking with the suspected shooter’s family members, police are operating under the theory that he was either sick or believed that he was sick and blamed the illness on the Covid-19 vaccine, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Multiple rounds were fired “we believe at law enforcement and potentially the CDC,” Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said during a news conference, but he added they are still investigating the situation.

Susan Monarez, the agency’s director who was sworn in just last week, said in a post on X that the agency was working with federal, state, and local law enforcement to investigate the shooting.
“Our top priority is the safety and well-being of everyone at CDC,” Monarez wrote.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared Monarez’s post on X but did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

RFK Jr to remove all members of CDC panel advising on US vaccines
The health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is getting rid of all members sitting on a key US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel of vaccine experts and reconstituting the committee, he said on Monday.
Kennedy is retiring and replacing all 17 members of the CDC’s advisory committee for immunization practices, he wrote in piece published in the Wall Street Journal.
“Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028,” Kennedy wrote.
Kennedy, in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, said the committee members had too many conflicts of interest. Committee members routinely disclose any possible conflicts at the start of public meetings.
...
Kennedy recently took the unusual step of changing Covid-19 recommendations without first consulting the panel.
