The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the 39-year-old victim who was killed in Wednesday's shooting as Amy St. Pierre.

"CDC is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of a colleague killed today in the Midtown Atlanta shooting," it said in a statement. "Our hearts are with her family, friends and colleagues as they remember her and grieve this tragic loss."

The suspect was taken into custody without incident, police said Wednesday during a press conference.

The suspect entered the medical facility shortly before noon and allegedly shot the first victim shortly after, Deputy Chief Charles Hampton said. The suspect spent two minutes in the building before exiting and going to a Shell gas station, where he commandeered a pickup truck, according to Hampton.

Officers were able to place the license plate number into the reader system, Hampton said, and received an alert at approximately 12:30 that the suspect was in Cobb County.

Technology "played a huge role," Cobb County Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer said, "but technology doesn't work without the dedicated people behind it."

Police had checked and cleared an unoccupied building they knew the suspect had gone into, VanHoozer said, adding that a "real-time operator" took a 911 call and had an instinct that it was legitimate, and they prioritized that call.

An undercover officer made the first contact with the suspect and had backup from uniformed officers, the chief said.

The suspect, Deion Patterson, has been apprehended following an hourslong manhunt, Atlanta police said.

Police plan to hold a press briefing at 8:15 p.m.

Police in Cobb County said Deion Patterson was seen on video in the county around 12:30 p.m. ET, roughly 20 minutes after the shooting, though it's unclear if he's still in the area.

Cobb County Police Sgt. Wayne Delk said during a press briefing that after learning Patterson might be in the area, his team checked flock cameras and "did discover that the vehicle had entered Cobb County," located northwest of Midtown Atlanta, where the shooting occurred.

"Around 12:30 p.m., we did spot what appeared to be a suspect in this area, which is why we have such a heavy presence," Delk said.

Police did not discover the video footage until around 2:30 p.m., and Delk acknowledged it's unclear if Patterson is still in the county.

"He might still be in the area," he said.

The vehicle Patterson was believed to be driving was recovered by Atlanta police in a parking garage, Delk said.

Three of the four women who were shot and injured remain in the intensive care unit, Dr. Robert Jansen, the chief medical officer at Grady Health, said at a news conference Thursday.

Two of those three women are "critical" and will return to the operating room for additional procedures, he said. The third patient in intensive care is stable and hopefully can move out of the ICU later in the day, he said.

The fourth woman who was shot is in stable condition, he said.

"As of right now everybody is as stable as they can be given the nature of their injuries," Jansen said.

Jansen said he's spoken with two of the injured victims.

"They have been traumatized," he said.

"They are very grateful for the support and care they've received," he said, however, "the fact that they were in a health care facility just makes it worse."

Jansen noted that "the impact" of this shooting "on the staff is something you can't imagine."

"Unfortunately, in this day and age, seeing shooting victims is almost a daily occurrence here," he said.

"But when they come in like this, particularly because it happened in a health care setting, it resonates more," he said, adding that the hospital staff is being offered support.
