ATLANTA – Several police officers responded to Emory Point across from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Friday afternoon.
According to DeKalb County officials, there is not an “active shooter” in the area, but they did not provide an explanation as to why police are in the area.
SKYFOX flew over the location and spotted several police officers and police officers on the roof of one of the buildings.
The backstory:
The same location is where an active shooter opened fire in August 2025, killing a police officer and terrifying hundreds of CDC employees and parents of children who were trapped inside a daycare center during the hours-long incident.
The shooter in that incident fired hundreds of shots at the CDC, which is located across the street from Emory Point.
