A suspected shooter near Emory University and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was killed by police after a standoff, with one law enforcement officer injured in the exchange. Gunfire struck several CDC building windows, prompting a temporary shelter-in-place order at Emory University, which was later lifted after authorities confirmed no ongoing threat.
