Tragedy Strikes CDC as Gunman Opens Fire: Community Rallies in Aftermath of DeKalb County Police Officer's Death

• Share on:

On Saturday morning, the atmosphere around the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was calm following a tragic incident where a gunman killed a DeKalb County police officer the previous day. Emory University lifted its shelter-in-place order, and while nearby businesses like CVS began reopening, signs of the shooting remained, including bullet holes in the store and the CDC's security center. Dance 101, located across from the CVS, resumed classes despite the emotional turmoil felt by its owner, Ofelia deLaValette, who expressed concern and sadness over the events.
