Seven months later, the government still hasn’t fixed CDC’s shot-up windows - AP News

The CDC's headquarters in Atlanta still has bullet-damaged windows that have not been repaired seven months after the shooting incident. The damage represents an unusual delay in repairs to a federal building following a security breach, raising questions about the speed and prioritization of government maintenance operations. The unrepaired windows at a major public health agency could affect both the building's security posture and the agency's operational environment during a period when the CDC faces heightened scrutiny over its pandemic response and institutional credibility. The extended timeline for repairs underscores broader challenges federal agencies sometimes face in executing routine facility maintenance despite available budgets. The incident highlights how government bureaucracy can create lag time even for straightforward facility fixes at critical institutions.
