A DeKalb County police officer, David Rose, was fatally shot Friday afternoon while responding to reports of an active shooter near Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.
Authorities confirmed the incident involved a single suspect who died from gunfire inside a building housing a CVS pharmacy on the second floor. Multiple rounds struck the CDC offices, prompting an investigation into whether the shots were intentionally aimed at the facility, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
