Georgia Man may have tried to enter the CDC campus two days before attacking the agency

New York – The man of Georgia who shot the buildings of the centers for Disease Control and Prevention on August 8 apparently attempted to enter the campus two days earlier, but was repressed by security, according to an internal e-mail of the CDC.

The security video indicates “a very high probability” that the 30 -year -old shooter – Patrick Joseph White – tried to enter the campus at the end of the afternoon of August 6, the email said.

“Video evidence does not confirm the identity of the person 100%”, but the police think that it was white, according to the email sent to CDC employees on Thursday.

“The survey of a site is a common practice for people who plan to engage in violent acts,” wrote Jeff Williams of the CDC security office in the email. The Associated Press viewed a copy of the email, which was reported for the first time by Stat News.

White blamed the COVVI-19 vaccine for having depressed and suicidal. On August 8, he opened fire in a place in a pharmacy opposite the main entrance to the CDC. He killed a police officer and pulled more than 180 shots in CDC buildings before committing suicide. No one at the CDC was injured.

Williams, in his email, said: “Due to our existing security protocols, the shooter did not try to enter the campus on Friday, August 8 before the attack.”

A spokesperson for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that the investigation was active and in progress.

“We have no other information to be published for the moment,” said the spokesman Sara Lue.
