CDC shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Georgia investigators say

ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the man who fired more than 180 shots at the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing a police officer.

Documents found in a search of the suspect’s home “expressed the shooter’s discontent with the Covid 19 vaccinations,” Georgia Bureau of Investigations Director Chris Hosey said.

Patrick Joseph White, 30, also had recently verbalized thoughts of suicide, which led to law enforcement being contacted several weeks before the shooting, Hosey said.
