CDC Atlanta shooting: Photo of accused CDC shooter released by GBI
The Brief According to GBI, Patrick Joseph White fired 500 shots with nearly 200 hitting buildings at the CDC. Documents have been found referencing COVID-19 vaccine. Guns belonged to father and were secured, but White was able to take them. DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation revealed new details during a press conference on Tuesday morning about the shooting last Friday at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's headquarters in Atlanta. What they're saying GBI Director Chris Hosey confirmed that 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White had no known criminal history but had recently expressed suicidal thoughts, leading to police contact several weeks before the shooting. The GBI says 500 shots were fired and about 200 rounds struck six CDC buildings, though no employees were hurt. Written documents expressing White's distrust of COVID-19 vaccines, which investigators described as a personal statement rather than a direct threat, were discovered during the investigation. Authorities say White broke into a safe at his family's home to access firearms — a mix of rifles, a shotgun and possibly a handgun — that belonged to his father. Most of the shell casings recovered came from a long gun. White reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The GBI confirmed DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose was shot and killed while responding to the incident. "He served with honor, courage, and unwavering dedication," Hosey said. "His sacrifice will never be forgotten." FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul Brown said federal SWAT teams cleared the CDC campus room by room after the shooting to ensure no victims were inside. A nearby daycare was evacuated, and all children were safely reunited with their families. Five firearms, electronic devices, and video evidence have been recovered so far. The FBI and GBI are asking anyone with additional footage or information to contact the tip line at 1-800-597-TIPS or use the "See Something, Send Something" app. Officials also said they have not seen an increase in threats against the CDC since the shooting but remain in close contact with CDC security to share any intelligence. Hosey and Brown were joined by Interim Police Chief Gregory Padrick from DeKalb County Police Department; Assistant Chief Carven Tyus from Atlanta Police Department; Chief Burt Buchtinec from Emory University Police Department and others. WATCH FULL PRESS CONFERENCE Dig deeper FOX 5 Atlanta also obtained a 911 call made by Patrick White's father to Cobb County. In the call, White's father tells the 911 dispatcher that he is afraid that his son may have been involved in the shooting. He also says that he had called DeKalb's 911 number three times and left detailed messages, but no one had called him back He finally reached out to Cobb in hopes of speaking to a detective who had helped the family previously. Records from Cobb County 911 show that White's address was mentioned in 11 different calls between June 2024 and the day of the shooting: One was the call about him possibly being the shooter. Three were medical calls for ambulances only. Three were related to White being suicidal. Two were for admin details, which FOX 5 has asked for clarification on. One call was for a theft and was responded to by the sheriff's office. One was for a domestic disturbance. What we know DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose was killed when he responded to reports of an active shooter at the CDC shortly before 5 p.m. Aug. 8. Authorities later identified the accused shooter as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal. White died during the incident, though officials have not said whether he was killed by police or took his own life. The attack left the CDC campus scarred and staff shaken, prompting calls from the agency's union for stronger security measures. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited CDC's Roybal campus on Monday. He also reportedly visited the wife of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, who was killed when he responded to reports of the shooting.

GBI: CDC shooter had no criminal record, used father's guns in attack
Law enforcement officers collected more than 500 shell casings and five firearms from the scene of Friday's shooting that killed DeKalb County police officer David Rose near the CDC's Clifton Road headquarters and Emory University. Driving the news: GBI director Chris Hosey said in a press conference Tuesday that the shooter, identified as 30-year-old Joseph Patrick White of Kennesaw, managed to strike six buildings with "close to" 200 rounds. The latest: On the day of the shooting, White broke into his father's gun safe at the home where he lived with his parents, who are cooperating with the investigation, Hosey said. The five firearms, which were a mix of rifles, handguns and shotguns, belonged to the father, Hosey told reporters. The GBI director said law enforcement had previous contact with White, who has no known criminal history, several weeks prior to Friday shooting after he "verbalized thoughts of suicide." State of play: Investigators found "written documentation that expressed the shooter's discontent ... with the COVID-19 vaccinations" while executing a search warrant at his home, Hosey said Tuesday. The GBI's criminal profilers are analyzing those documents and they will be shared with the FBI Atlanta field office. White died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the second floor of a CVS located across the street from the CDC and was not struck by any bullets fired by law enforcement, Hosey added. Preliminary results from an autopsy show Rose's injuries were caused by weapons used by White, Hosey said. What's next: Investigators are reviewing video evidence and electronic devices recovered at the scene.

Somerville startup offers AI app to help police fight crime
After bulletins are issued, the software can use artificial intelligence to analyze multiple reports, which are often publicly available, across cities, regions, or even multiple states. The AI looks for patterns, such as the use of a similar vehicle or a breaking and entering technique, then alerts users if it links crimes from multiple reports (each department decides whether and how far afield its bulletins will be included in the AI search). The AI also tries to display relevant bulletins to each user, such as alerting a robbery detective investigating one break-in of similar prior incidents. Advertisement Multitude Insights is offering agencies software to create digital online bulletins reporting crimes and make connections between disparate incidents to catch the crooks. Multitude Insights 'If you're inside of a big [law enforcement] agency like a Boston or a Seattle, the left hand often doesn't know what the right hand is doing,' said Matt White, cofounder and chief executive, in an interview at the firm's offices near Teele Square in Somerville. 'We've taken what is a kind of an ad hoc process around the country and turned it into something that is a searchable, usable database.' Advertisement In one case, White said the company's software helped law enforcement agencies in two different states connect the same domestic terrorist group to incidents in which weather radars were destroyed. (Multitude Insights declined to disclose details of the incidents.) In another case, the system connected a string of thefts by a credit card scammer in California, thanks to a baseball cap the crook was wearing, White said. In a demonstration at Multitude's headquarters, White and chief technology officer Frank Conroy showed how a law enforcement officer could rapidly create a bulletin by selecting categories such as the type of crime from drop-down lists, fill in more details, and upload photos or videos. At the bottom of the report, other officers can leave comments or tips. Police departments using Multitude's software contacted by the Globe either declined to comment or did not respond. With cofounder Akihiko Izu, a Japanese lawyer who White met at MIT's Sloan School, Multitude's team has raised more than $5 million from investors including New York-based venture capital firm Commonweal Ventures. At a time when AI Advertisement The current mess of paper and emailed bulletins often leads to information overload and ignored reports, according to Dean Esserman, former chief of police in New Haven. And when a suspect is caught for one crime, officers rarely have time to research whether they might have been involved in other cases. 'It would be great if you had the time and no pressure to keep plodding along, trying to link other cases, other hints, other pieces of evidence or leads,' said Esserman, who now advises Multitude. 'This software can help that happen.' Before attending MIT as part of a joint program with Harvard's Kennedy school, White spent more than eight years in the Navy, crammed into the back of aircraft flying intelligence-gathering missions. He came away impressed with the armed forces' technology for analyzing intel. Then on a ride-along with Boston police during grad school, he sensed an opportunity to modernize the antiquated bulletin system. 'I spent a lot of time trying to find the signal in the noise,' White said. 'What's actually important is helping an officer get to the next important thing, not just the next thing.'
