Police in Atlanta say the gunman is dead after reports of an active shooter situation near Emory University and the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday. 

At about 5 p.m., Emory University posted an emergency alert message saying: “Active shooter on Emory Atlanta Campus at Emory Point CVS. RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. Avoid the area.” 

For over an hour, people in the Emory campus area were told to shelter in place, but that warning has now been lifted.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated with more information.
