(NewsNation) — The man who opened fire at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Georgia shot 200 rounds at the building and hundreds more shell casings were recovered, investigators said Tuesday.
The family of Patrick Joseph White, 30, confirmed police were sent to his home several days before the incident when he said he was having suicidal thoughts, Georgia Bureau of Investigation director Chris Hosey said.
More than 500 shell casings were recovered from the crime scene, and authorities said 200 rounds of bullets hit six CDC buildings during Friday's shooting.
White was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the second floor of a building near the CDC campus, authorities said.
When searching White's home after the shooting, police found writings that showed his discontent with COVID-19 vaccinations.
The DeKalb County Medical Examiner's Office said police Officer David Rose died in the shooting.
