The suspected gunman who attacked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's campus on Friday may have fired many hundred rounds, law enforcement said on Tuesday.

The CDC director described the dangers of misinformation, four days after a gunman shot at the headquarters in Atlanta, claiming the COVID-19 shot sickened him.

An alleged gunman who opened fire at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters late last week blamed his declining health and depression on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to documents recovered by investigators.

The man who opened fire at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters last week, killing a police officer, died by suicide.

The gunman who opened fire Friday at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broke into his father’s safe to get the five firearms recovered at the scene, state investigators said Tuesday, as some CDC workers seeking answers and reassurance from leadership were left dissatisfied by a short agency-wide meeting about the shooting.

Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), said almost 500 shell casings were recovered. Of those rounds, about 200 struck facilities on the CDC campus.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Grappling with the aftermath of a shooting that killed a police officer and left nearly 100 shattered windows, leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held virtual meetings with employees on Tuesday to rebuild trust at the agency's Atlanta headquarters.

On Friday, a gunman fired more than 180 rounds at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention buildings in Atlanta. That has left staff scared, as well as frustrated by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' response.
