Statement FROM Congressman Johnson on Emory/cdc Shooting

August 8, 2025 Press Release DECATUR, GA – "It’s always deeply disturbing to hear of a police officer dying in the line of duty. But the pain is magnified beyond measure when it happens right here at home to one of DeKalb County’s finest. I’ve had the privilege of being around these heroic first responders my entire career. The sacrifice and dedication they provide to keep us safe can never fully be repaid. Mereda and I express our deepest sympathies to the family of the fallen officer, his colleagues, and the entire Emory and CDC communities." ###
