Officer David Rose, 33, died in the line of duty on August 8, when a gunman opened fire outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s campus off Clifton Road. The violent attack led to a lockdown near Emory University, and six CDC buildings were hit by gunfire. Officer Rose was the first to respond and was fatally shot.

Weeks after David Rose was killed while responding to a shooting this month at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, officers are remembering the DeKalb County police officer as a courageous leader who prioritized family.
