We haven’t had a lot to write about regarding the CDC shooter from last week. That’s good news considering he killed a police officer, locked down the campus of both the CDC and Emory University, and unleashed hell on the building because he blamed his medical conditions on the COVID-19 vaccine.
I’m genuinely surprised this hasn’t been more of a story.
Especially now that we know that he sent an ungodly amount of fire downrage during his rampage.
He fired upwards of 500 shots, fatally striking a police officer, shattering glass and damaging buildings Friday afternoon at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the GBI.
Then, Patrick Joseph White turned one of the guns on himself, investigators said Tuesday. White, 30, had broken into his father’s gun cabinet and left the family’s Kennesaw-area home with five weapons, including rifles, a shotgun and a handgun.
Both the GBI director and Atlanta FBI’s special agent in charge provided more updates Tuesday on the incident that locked down the CDC, Emory University and nearby Emory Hospital and sent hundreds of people scrambling for safety. But first, they offered condolences for the slain officer.
…
In the wake of the shooting, FBI agents combed the CDC looking for other victims and evidence, according to Paul Brown, special agent in charge of the Atlanta office. Nearly 200 shots hit the agency’s buildings, officials said.
“Late into Friday night, members of the FBI SWAT, along with special agents, went through room by room clearing the facilities on the CDC campus to make sure no one was struck, there were no victims on that campus with that many rounds being fired onto that campus,” Brown said. “I’m glad to say that everyone was safely evacuated, including the children in the day care and they were reunified with their families.”
Brown said the incident appears to be isolated, and that the agency has not seen an increase in threats to healthcare workers since Friday.
I’m not going to get into any of the discussion of the COVID vaccine, the body’s reactions to it, or any of the problems people have associated with it. That’s not what we do, and even if every word of that is true, what this twerp did would still be wrong.
I will say, though, that this feels like it was inspired by what happened in Manhattan, where the killer in that shooting blamed the NFL for his history of concussions, which he believed caused his mental health issues.
Still, what we have here is a 30-year-old who broke into someone else’s gun safe to steal their guns for his rampage. He put a lot of fire down range, luckily with almost no accuracy to speak of, though far more accuracy than would be ideal in a situation like this, and all with stolen guns.
He likely could have bought his own firearms at any point, as he didn’t seem to have a criminal history, but he hadn’t.
I suspect that’s why we’re not seeing so much more about this incident. It doesn’t mesh with the preferred narrative on any level except, maybe, to paint this guy as a right-wing conspiracy theorist or something. That might be happening in other circles of the internet, and I just missed it.
But on guns, it doesn’t fit, and that’s why we’re not hearing more.
Funny, that.
