A man opened fire outside the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Friday, leaving bullet holes 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. No one else was reported to be injured.

The gunman was identified Saturday as Patrick Joseph White, age 30, of Kennesaw, Georgia. His motive is still unknown this early in the investigation, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.

Officer David Rose was killed in the gunfire, the DeKalb County Police Department said in a Facebook post. 32m ago
