The shooting was “certainly targeted” at the CDC, the employee said.

The gunman seemed to be shooting at CDC’s Building 21, according to the employee, who said he first thought the man was pulling fishing gear from his backpack.

The employee said he thinks he saw the shooter pull two rifles from the bag.

He heard at least six or seven shots and called 911 from his car, he told CNN.

Then he drove further down the road and called his wife to make sure his children – who attend day care at the CDC campus – were safe.

“I have very close colleagues who were locked down in the office at CDC, you know, cowering or sort of sheltering in place.”.

The CDC building is adjacent to the Emory University campus in Atlanta. »
