CDC shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound: investigators

ATLANTA -- The man who fired more than 180 shots with a long gun at the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broke into a locked safe to get his father's weapons and wanted to send a message against COVID-19 vaccines, authorities said Tuesday.

The video featured is from a previous report.

Documents found in a search of the suspect's home "expressed the shooter's discontent with the COVID-19 vaccinations," Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said. White had written about wanting make "the public aware of his discontent with the vaccine," he said.

Patrick Joseph White, 30, also had recently verbalized thoughts of suicide, which led to law enforcement being contacted several weeks before the shooting, Hosey said. He died at the scene Frida
