Shooting reported at the CVS store on campus. This is right next door to the CDC.

Edit: Some reports on social media say one police officer shot. A few reports saying multiple injuries.

11Alive News saying the suspect is down.

And their on scene reporter is implying it was "political" due to the CDC being nearby.

My guess is it'll end up being some dude who believes the way the CDC handled Covid ruined his life somehow and this is revenge. Similar to the recent NFL headquarters shooting. Too much of a coincidence imo, but we'll find out.

The shooter is dead.

There is a name going around on social media (initials are SK), but don't want to accuse someone of being the shooter based on social media noise.

Police have been seen searching a white car so likely what the shooter drove.

Also images of what is likely the shooter's body strapped to a stretcher in front of the CVS. There was definitely a body there earlier as seen from the helicopter feed.

Press conference coming up shortly.

Commies are spiking the ball, convinced they finally have a MAGA terrorist/mass shooter.

They're also calling for the arrest any prosecution of anyone who has dared to question the mRNA shots, saying they caused the shooting.

Probably explains why the local media keeps implying it was a targeted attack on the CDC.

It's amazing how quickly we can get motives for some shooters and then other shooters it takes weeks despite a manifesto and other documents.

All depends on whether or not the Democrats think it can be used to their advantage.

Anything that can hurt them is buried as rapidly as possible such as the Nashville school shooter.

For second, I though that stop light was like a bazooka on the side that police car. RV from hell.



BTW, my late brother could convert a Toyota truck to nitrous. Met a repo agent during my very early legal career that had nitrous. Was not that hard, apparently.

Press conference finally started.

No civilians injured despite earlier reports.

Will not confirm the status of the officer, will be done later.

Officer was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

Shooting was coming from inside the CVS. Shooter was found on the second floor of the building and down from a gunshot wound. He later died at the scene. They did not say if he was shot by police or it was self inflicted.

First question, "was the CDC targeted in this attack." The mayor so badly wanted to go all in on the shooter anti-vax and targeted the CDC over the mRNA shots. He did of course have to tell us it was a white male which is making the libs even more giddy. All white criminals are "MAGA" to them.

Media keeps trying to get the officials to say it was an anti-vax attack. They clearly want to do so, but so far haven't done it.

If this is correct, wouldn't the shooter likely not be MAGA, because if so, he wouldn't have gotten the vaccine in the first place? I think this is one of those situations where politics really doesn't play a role. But of course, that's the angle everyone will take.
And no, getting a vaccine and getting sick from it does not have to mean anything politically.

The left doesn't care.

They'll jump on anything if they think they can score a point.

They've already pivoted to blaming RFK Jr. and calling for him to be fired and arrested.

I'm going to assume the day care center that was repeatedly mentioned, also has nothing to do with the shooting?

I thought the Left championed shooters who targeted an entity that was responsible for sub-standard healthcare/ treatment? Why the sudden switch, especially since the shooters both appear white (well, at least the young Italian one is certainly white, while today's shooter might be one of those Swedes that's presumed white but is later revealed to be an Arab Muslim)?

I don't think "they" sent this guy out to shoot up the place and kill a police officer.

But the media and Democrats will do what they always do, exploit every single situation if they think it will help them. CNN and MSDNC have been running segments with doctors touting how wonderful the mRNA shots are and how they're perfectly safe. It is obvious they're going to use then to push for RFK Jr. to be fired.

Was this guy going after the CDC? Just curious if people having health issues are now seeking some type of revenge? I wasn't paying attention to this thread or this event until someone asked me about it at the normal Starbucks in Htown I have coffee at. Weird that someone (he's always in the Starbucks) brought this event up and I told him I wasn't aware of this shooting … maybe something was bothering this guy? Probably took the jabs

I get that and agree. I do think it's strange all of a sudden it's like a mass shooting a day. Is there some kind of coordination at some level.
