The shooter at the Center for Disease Control believes that the Kofid vaccine made it suicide, as his father tells the police

A judiciary official said on Saturday that a man in Georgia shot the centers of control and prevention centers, and shot dozens of rounds in the sprawling complex and killed a police officer, blamed the Covid-19 vaccine for making it depressed and suicide, according to an official in the implementation of the law at the judiciary on Saturday.

The official said that the 30 -year -old also tried to reach the headquarters of the Disease Control Center in Atlanta, but the guards were arrested before driving to a pharmacy across the street and opened the fire late on Friday afternoon. The official said he was armed with five guns, including at least one long pistol, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the investigation publicly.

David Rose, a police officer in Dikaleb, was fatal as a response.

The Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, whose doubts about the vaccines were the cornerstone of his career, about his support for the employees of the Disease Control Center on Saturday. But some employees of the Disease Control Center said that Kennedy is sharing the responsibility of violence and should be resigned.

CDC compound has been identified

Georgia’s investigation office is called Patrick Joseph White as a shooter, but the authorities did not say whether he was killed by the police or killed himself.

The law enforcement official told AP that the suspect’s father contacted the police and identified his son as a potential shooter. The father said that his son was annoyed by the death of the son of the son, and he was also installed on the Covid-19 vaccine, according to the official. The family lives in Kenissao, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of the headquarters of the Disease Control Center.

A voice mail left on a phone number was not returned to the White family on Saturday.

Employees vibrate at the Disease Control Center

Leave fire holes in windows via the CDC campus, where thousands work on critical diseases research. Employees gathered under hours of insurance while investigators gathered evidence. Employees have been encouraged to work from the two house or take leave.

Director Susan Monarerez said at least from four buildings from the Disease Control Center.

Sam Atkins, who lives in Stone Mountain, outside the CVS pharmacy on Saturday that weapon violence appears to be as if "The truth of life" now. "This is a daily thing that happens here in Georgia."

Kennedy communicates with the employees

"We feel deep sadness from the tragic shooting on the Atlanta campus at the Center for Disease Control, which took the life of officer David Rose," Kennedy said on Saturday. "We know how our colleagues in public health are shaken today. No one should face violence while working to protect the health of others."

Some rejected the expressions of solidarity that Kennedy made in a "Dear colleagues" Email, called for his resignation.

"Kennedy is directly responsible for the workforce of the workforce at the Center for Disease Control through his continuous lies about the safety of science and the safety of the vaccine, which fueled the climate of hostility and lack of confidence," He said the fire, but the fighting, a group of uncomfortable employees who oppose changes to the Center for Disease Control by President Donald Trump’s administration.

During the Kennedy era, CDC lay off nearly 2000 employees. Trump suggests reducing the agency’s budget to half next year, as some CDC jobs were transferred to a new management of America’s health. Kennedy has a history as a leader in the Anti-Qazi Movement, but it has reached a new position by spreading confidence in Covid-19 vaccines. For example, called it "Criminal medical misconduct" To give Covid-19 vaccines to children.

Kennedy has acquired this interest in a presidential attempt and Trump’s support, which led to Trump’s secretary. Kennedy continues to undermine the scientific consensus on vaccines, as he requested $ 500 million to finance vaccine development on Tuesday.

The opponents say that the officials’ speech contributed

The fighting also called for resignation from Russell Fion, noting a video clip that was recorded before Trump appointed the position of director and budget with orders to dismantle many federal government.

"We want the bureaucrats painfully affected," Phil said in the video, which was obtained by PROPUBLICA and documented research collection. "When they wake up in the morning, we want them not to want to go to work, because they are increasingly seen as the wicked."

The request for a comment was not returned from Vogue.

This was the shooting "My physical embodiment of the narration that took over, attacking the science, and attacking our federal workers," Sarah Bouem, a telecommunications employee at the former diseases control center that was separated this year during a wave of termination.

Covid-19 vaccines are not confident

A White neighbors told Atlanta Journal COMASTATASAT that White spoke with her several times about the lack of confidence in Covid-19 vaccines.

Nancy Halst, who lives in the same street as the White family, said it seemed as if a "Good man" While doing the work of annihilation and dogs walking to the neighbors, but he will attend vaccines even in the relevant talks.

"He was very unstable, and he believed that vaccines hurt and harm others." He said to Atlanta. "I thought it categorically."

But Halst said that she did not believe that Al -Abyad would be violent: "I had no idea that he believed that he would take it on the center of disease control."

The killed officer leaves the wife and 3 children

Rose, 33, was one of the former naval infantry that served in Afghanistan, from the Police Academy in March and "He quickly got respect for his colleagues for his dedication, courage, and professional" He said the province of Dikaleb.

"This evening, there is a wife without a husband. There are three children, one who was not born, without a father," Dekalb County Lorraine Cochran-Johnson said.

Increasing security concerns

The CDC Supreme Command told some employees on Saturday that they would have a full security evaluation after the shooting, according to the registration of the AP phone.

One of the employees said that people feel like "Duck" Friday. Another asked whether the officials had spoken to Kennedy and whether they could talk to him "Wrong information, misinformation" Which – which "Carm this case."

It is clear that the leaders of the Center for Control of Diseases Fear that employees may continue to continue. In an email on Saturday, which was obtained by the AP, the Security Office at the Center for Diseases Control from employees asked to stimulate the parking badges at the Old Disease Control Center from their cars. The office said that the badges were not required for some time.
