The alleged shooter killed a police officer and spread panic through the health agency and nearby Emory University.

The Georgia man accused of firing more than 500 shots at the CDC headquarters aimed to publicize his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines, authorities said Tuesday.

CDC security guards stopped White from driving into the campus on Friday before he parked near a pharmacy across the street and opened fire from a sidewalk. The bullets pierced “blast-resistant” windows across the campus, pinning employees down during the barrage.
