Officer David Rose, 33, was shot while responding to the gunfire, the DeKalb County Police Department said in a news release. He was transported to nearby Emory University Hospital where he died of his injuries. Newsweek has contacted the police department for further comment via email.

While investigators have not confirmed a motive, law enforcement sources told CNN that White may have targeted the CDC due to health concerns he linked to the Covid-19 vaccine. They said the suspect had been seeking mental health assistance in the weeks before the attack but had made no known threats.
