CDC Acting Chief Confirms Window Replacement Starts Seven Months After Shooting
About 150 bullet-damaged windows are being custom replaced at CDC headquarters after a shooting delayed repairs for over seven months due to weather and manufacturing needs.
- Acting CDC chief Dr. Jay Bhattacharya confirmed Wednesday that the agency has begun replacing windows damaged in an August 2025 shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- In August 2025, Patrick Joseph White fired more than 180 shots at the campus, breaking about 150 windows while blaming COVID-19 vaccines for his distress; officer David Rose was killed responding to the attack.
- Many employees expressed frustration regarding U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s response, as Kennedy visited the campus briefly to survey damage but did not meet with staff.
- Bhattacharya petitioned Kennedy to rename the CDC's road entrance after David Rose, and the secretary agreed to honor the officer killed during the shooting.
- Because each window requires custom manufacturing, installation remains weather-dependent; agency officials confirmed the replacement project is on schedule despite panes being papered over during the seven-month wait.
