The FBI says more than 500 shell casings have been found around the scene of last week's shooting near the CDC headquarters in Atlanta. On Tuesday, authorities released the 911 call from the suspect's father following the shooting.

The gunman who opened fire Friday at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broke into his father’s safe to get the five firearms recovered at the scene, state investigators said Tuesday, as some CDC workers seeking answers and reassurance from leadership were left dissatisfied by a short agency-wide meeting about the shooting.

Authorities also confirmed that they had recovered "written documentation that expressed the shooter’s discontent with the COVID-19 vaccinations."

The suspected gunman who attacked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's campus on Friday may have fired many hundred rounds, law enforcement said on Tuesday.

The Georgia man accused of firing more than 500 shots at the CDC headquarters aimed to publicize his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines, authorities said Tuesday.

The man who fired more than 180 shots at the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wanted to send a message against COVID-19 vaccines, authorities say. 365 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 3L4 © 2025 National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
