A gunman who believed the Covid-19 vaccine made him sick went on a shooting rampage outside the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
The shooter killed one police officer and left windows shattered at multiple buildings belonging to the CDC as terrified students at nearby Emory University sheltered in place.
The college sent out a desperate alert at around 4:50pm pleading with students to ‘RUN. HIDE. FIGHT.’
A little over two hours after the alert was sent out, Atlanta Police confirmed that the sole gunman was dead.
‘There is no ongoing threat to the Emory Campus or the surrounding neighborhood. The incident involved a single shooter, who is now deceased,’ Atlanta Police said in a statement.
No civilians were shot throughout the course of the attack, said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.
CNN reported that the shooter’s family members spoke to law enforcement and told them that he blamed his recent illness on the COVID-19 vaccine.
It’s the first indication that the CDC was the intended target of the shooter, who has not yet been identified.
The covid vax probably did make him sick, but that doesn’t give him the right to kill someone.
