The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has identified the man who opened fire at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, Georgia.

The GBI statement says White died and Officer David Rose with the DeKalb County Police Department was shot and killed during the shooting Friday.

The shooter opened fire outside the CDC headquarters, striking windows across the sprawling campus and killing the officer before he was found dead in a nearby building, authorities said. The attack prompted a massive law enforcement response to one of the nation’s most prominent public health institutions, but no one else was reported to be injured.

At least four CDC buildings were hit, Director Susan Monarez said in a post on X. Images shared by employees showed multiple agency buildings with bullet-pocked windows, underscoring the breadth of the damage to a site where thousands of scientists and staff work on critical disease research.

1. Republicans spent years demonizing the CDC because they were afraid of getting a shot and masking

They fucking own this. Pukes have brought us nothing but disease, stupidity and violence.

[Botany]

8. Yes they do. Fill people's brains with lies and in a lot of cases Russian produced lies and then some mentally ill nut

… ball who actually believes that toxic gibberish and he likes his guns and never gets laid and so on his way home from
the Walmart shipping center he hears about the evil RNA based vaccines from the CDC and he then becomes a warrior
for Free Dumbs. (Just guessing about the shooter.)

Right after the flooding in Texas’ hill country I saw a clip of some local mouth breather going to a community
in ‘21 talking about not building a flood warning system along the Guadalupe River because Joe Biden is a
communist. These deaths are squarely @ the feet of the Republicans, Fox News, some real Christian Pastors,
and other platforms that fill minds up with toxic disinformation. I might be wrong about the shooter.

2. I find it interesting

That nothing is known about the man.

4. Until they can identify him as a Black Muslim trans socialist, we won't hear anything.

They won't report that he was a white suburban Republican with a MAGA social media history.

3. He had a long gun on him and 3 other fire arms found at the scene.

He meant business, he was there to do a lot of damage.

5. These maga mutts are crazy!

My daughter lives in rural NE and she showed me a FB post from a prominent person in her town. It was pages extolling the benefits of ivermectin. They can't keep it on the shelves at farm supply centers. People are taking it like a daily vitamin. WTF people?

6. On the bright side, nobody has worms there. Too bad they can't inject ivermectin into RFK Jrs. brain.

It probably wouldn't help though.

9. Claims the covid vaccine made him sick.

Why didn't he shove horse dewormer capsules up his ass like most magats did?
