Chaos unfolded outside the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Friday, after a man opened fire, leaving bullet marks in windows across the sprawling campus and killing a police officer before he was found dead in a nearby building, authorities said.
The attack, which unfolded near neighboring Emory University, prompted a massive law enforcement response to one of the nation's most prominent public health institutions, but no one else was reported to be injured. At least four CDC buildings were hit, Director Susan Monarez said in a post on X. Images shared by employees showed multiple agency buildings with bullet-pocked windows, underscoring the breadth of the damage to a site where thousands of scientists and staff work on critical disease research.

Made the ultimate sacrifice, says FBI Director Kash Patel on cop's death
Before the name of the deceased police officer was released, FBI Director Kash Patel said the law enforcement officer was a hero who 'made the ultimate sacrifice.' 'Pray for the family, friends, and colleagues of this hero who acted quickly to defend others and made the ultimate sacrifice,' Patel said in a post on X. 'The FBI will offer them our full support.'
CDC Director honored police officer
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention honored the law enforcement officer who was killed on Friday after a shooter fired on at least four buildings. 'We at @CDCgov are heartbroken by today's attack on our Roybal Campus, which remains on lockdown as authorities investigate the shooting,' Director Susan Monarez said in a post on X. 'A courageous local law enforcement officer gave their life, and another was injured, after a gunman opened fire on at least four CDC buildings.'
She thanked local law enforcement and security for acting 'immediately and decisively' to respond to the threat. The gunman was found on the second floor of a building across the street from the CDC campus and died at the scene, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said. He added that 'we do not know at this time whether that was from officers or if it was self-inflicted.'
The shooter was armed with a long gun, and authorities recovered three other firearms at the scene, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. The gunman's motive is still unknown this early in the investigation, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.

Child's right to know parentage outweighs father's privacy: HC
C handigarh: In a legal dispute balancing individual privacy against the right to know one's parentage, the Punjab and Haryana high court ruled that the latter takes precedence. "The right of privacy, as such, cannot override the right of the child and vest interest in his favour," the HC has held. The court also clarified that if the person refused to undergo DNA testing, the trial court would be free to draw an adverse inference based on his conduct and other evidence. "Why should there be any hesitation to undergo this test is not coming forth," the HC observed, noting that photographs and testimonies already on record suggested familial ties. A DNA test would provide clarity and assist the court in reaching the right conclusion without leaving the matter to presumptions, the HC clarified. Justice Archana Puri passed these orders while upholding an order dated Nov 27, 2015, passed by a lower court in Haryana directing a DNA test in a long-running paternity dispute. The petitioner in this case had approached the HC challenging the lower court's order. The case stems from a suit filed by a child (who has now attained majority) who consistently asserted that he is the biological son of a man (identity protected) and his mother. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo The man, whom the boy referred to as his father, however, persistently denied the claim, terming the boy a "stranger" and resisting any attempt to establish paternity through scientific means. The boy's claim traces back to events in 1988 when, according to him, his mother and the man began cohabiting as husband and wife, while the man was living in her mother's house as a tenant. The boy was born from that relationship in 1990 and lived with both until 2000. Supporting him, the woman admitted to the relationship and backed her son's plea. However, the petitioner argued that the boy was born during the woman's earlier marriage with her then husband, from whom she obtained a divorce in 1994. He cited Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act, which presumes the legitimacy of a child born within wedlock, to oppose compulsory DNA testing. The HC, however, observed that unlike cases where a spouse resists parenthood during the subsistence of marriage, this matter involved an adult child seeking to establish his own parentage. In such circumstances, Section 112's presumption of legitimacy cannot override the child's right to know the truth of his origins. "So far as the stakeholders are concerned, it is pertinent to mention that the child, who asserts defendant No.1 to be his father, is major and while asserting paternity, he is thus very well aware of the consequences of the order, which may downsize his position and that of his mother in the society. Even the mother of the plaintiff is of mature age and she is bound to be well aware of the consequences of the action of her son and his claim regarding the paternity issue. They having come forward unhesitatingly has to be considered," observed the HC while dismissing the revision petition challenging the lower court order. The HC further clarified that the DNA test is a surer test to affix the paternity. If the boy and the man are strangers in any manner as asserted, no injustice shall be done to defendant No.1 by conducting this test. Rather, if he is the father, his position will be put beyond doubt by the testing and the paternity as pleaded shall be ascertained. "Why there should be any hesitation to undergo this test is not coming forth. Of course, the evidence is to be led by both sides, but the question arises, when the paternity can be affixed by a surer test, then why a decision based on legal presumption or gathering of inference, on the basis of the evidence or any gap, on account of misjudgment, be left," the HC held in its detailed order dated Aug 12.

Vizag temple administration under scanner over missing receipt for 60 kilo silver donation
1 2 Visakhapatnam: The deputy commissioner of the endowments department has launched an inquiry into alleged mismanagement of silver ornaments at Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi Temple in One Town. At the center of the controversy is a 60-kilo silver backdrop affixed behind the idol of Goddess Kanaka Mahalakshmi — now a flashpoint in temple administration. The temple draws nearly four lakh devotees during Margasira Maasotsavaalu, with pilgrims arriving from North Andhra, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana. Thursdays in that month are considered especially auspicious. The issue surfaced after a donor alerted the temple management via letter, claiming that the old 34-kilo silver cover — promised to him after he donated a new one in 2021–22 — was never handed over. He alleged that despite assurances, not a single gram of silver was returned. Temple sources say donors typically receive receipts for contributions, whether in cash or precious metals. However, in this case, no receipt was issued for the 60-kilo silver cover, despite staff acknowledging the donor's identity. The administration maintains that a receipt is issued only for direct donations—not exchanges. According to a higher official in the endowment department, the temple should take written permission from the commissioner of the department if any exchange of silver or gold or anything is to take place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit.

When contacted, the deputy commissioner of the endowment department, Sujata, told TOI that she is conducting the inquiry on the orders of the Commissioner. She would submit the report on the issue. There is no time bound for the inquiry, but she would submit the report as early as possible. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Thieves strike at swimmer Bula Choudhury's home, make off with all medals, Padma Shri
1 2 Kolkata/Hindmotor: Thieves broke into the Hindmotor house of former ace swimmer Bula Choudhury and cleaned up her trophy cabinet that contained almost all her awards — over 150 medals and mementos that she had won during a career spanning more than a decade-and-a-half. The loss included the Padma Shri brooch she received in 2009 and 10 gold medals won at two editions of the South Asian Federation (SAF) Games. An inconsolable Choudhury said: "They took away things that are of no value to them but invaluable to me. From 1979, when I started competing as a nine-year-old, till I retired in 1995, all that I earned were medals. They are all gone." This is the third theft at the house christened 'Sundar Bari'. In 2014, there were two thefts at the house in a span of seven months. Jewellery, mementos and electronic items, including an LED TV, had been stolen.

Thieves also took all the taps from Choudhury's house, leaving the washrooms unusable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Omaxe State: India's 1st Air Conditioned High Street!

The accused had cut the back door. Chandernagore deputy commissioner of police Arnab Biswas said, "The house, located at the corner of a road, had been closed for about a month. It is unclear when thieves broke in." Police suspect two persons were involved. Five suspects have been picked up for interrogation. A CID team, along with forensic and fingerprint experts, is collecting evidence from the house. Choudhury, the 'Queen of Seas', first made a splash in the 1979 national swimming competition, dominating her age group by winning six golds. In 1984, she won four golds at SAF Games in Kathmandu. In 1991, she won six golds at the Colombo SAF Games. Choudhury went on to cross the English Channel in 1989 and again in 1999. In 1990, the Indian govt honoured her with Arjuna Award.
