Army sergeant shot 5 soldiers before he was tackled and arrested at Fort Stewart, officials say
FORT STEWART, Ga. — A sergeant shot five soldiers Wednesday at one the country's largest Army bases before he was quickly tackled by other Fort Stewart troops, forcing a brief lockdown, officials said. Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but officials said the shooter was Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, who used a personal handgun, not a military firearm. Radford opened fire where he worked but officials wouldn't speculate about a motive, authorities said. The injured soldiers are stable and expected to recover, said Brig Gen. John Lubas. The soldiers who tackled Radford helped ensure his arrest, Lubas said. 'These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties or wounded,' he said. This latest act of violence on a U.S. military installation — sites that are supposed to be among the most secure in the country — again raised concerns about safety and security within the armed forces' own walls. The Army said it's investigating the shooting. There were still many unanswered questions, including the condition of the soldiers, the scope of their injuries, the name of the shooter as well as any possible motive. The injured were treated and then moved to Winn Army Community Hospital, base officials said in a Facebook post, adding there's no threat to the community. Some of the wounded were also taken to Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, said spokesperson Bryna Gordon. The hospital is the top-level trauma center for coastal Georgia. Gordon said she didn't know how many people were being taken to the hospital or what their conditions are. Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team complex shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday. The shooter was arrested at 11:35 a.m., officials said. The lockdown lasted about an hour. After it was lifted, cars began to move through the normal security checkpoint at the fort's main gate. The Army's 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team was created in 2016 when the service added more than 200 vehicles to an infantry unit of roughly 4,200 soldiers. Also known as the 'Spartan Brigade,' the Army has called the unit its 'most modern land fighting force.' Located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Savannah, Fort Stewart is the largest Army post east of the Mississippi River. It's home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the Army's 3rd Infantry Division and family members. White House and Defense Department officials said President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth had been briefed on the shooting. The FBI was at the fort to help investigate, said Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Among the deadliest acts of violence on U.S. military bases was a 2009 attack. A U.S. Army psychiatrist killed 13 people in a shooting that left more than 30 wounded at Fort Hood, a military installation in Texas. In 2013, a defense contract worker and former Navy reservist killed 12 people at Washington Navy Yard. He was then killed in a gun battle with police. In 2014, a soldier opened fire on his fellow service members at Fort Hood, killing three people and wounding more than a dozen others before the gunman killed himself. In 2019, an aviation student opened fire in a classroom at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, killing three people and injuring another dozen people including two sheriff's deputies. Just days earlier, a U.S. Navy sailor shot two people to death before killing himself at Pearl Harbor, the Naval station in Hawaii.

‘Extremely rare and dangerous': Pyrocumulus clouds develop near Snow Lake
A pyrocumulus cloud forming over a wildfire near Snow Lake, Man., on Aug. 5, 2025. (Town of Snow Lake / Facebook) Clouds formed by wildfire heat near Snow Lake posed 'significant risk' to the fight against the flames, according to the town's Facebook page. The town said pyrocumulus clouds, which develop from extreme heat that gives rise to thunderstorm-like formations, formed over a wildfire Tuesday. 'Pyrocumulus clouds can generate their own lightning and strong, unpredictable winds—conditions that increase the risk of new fire starts,' said the town's post, which included information supplied by Manitoba Wildfire Service. 'The system did eventually collapse later in the day which brought localized winds and storm-like conditions … Thankfully, this event was not as significant as it could have been.' The clouds were described as 'extremely rare and dangerous,' with the town noting that they 'may have contributed to additional fire behaviour.' 'In extreme cases, it can basically become its own thunderstorm,' said Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologist Crawford Luke. Snow Lake said recent tanker operations had a 'good effect' in minimizing the threat to local power lines, adding that they are hopeful for rain amid a risk of thunderstorms today. Manitoba Wildfire Service said Tuesday was a 'much better day' for fighting fires in the North region as aircraft were able to operate throughout the day, according to a Facebook post from the City of Thompson. The city said Fire NO061, which is approximately 14 kilometres north of Thompson, experienced lots of growth on the north end, which is not being targeted now. 'Plans for a backburn in the area have been shelved as the fire is burning back on itself and cleaning up its own edges in the process,' said the city. 'The weather forecast looks promising for the next few days, with high relative humidity and a chance of precipitation today and for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.' Manitoba Wildfire Service continues to respond to 165 active wildfires across the province, with a total of 401 wildfires to date, according to the province's latest fire bulletin.

Screams as Russian singer left 'fearing for life' after bear charges at picnic
Russian singer Gulnaz Asaeva, 27, has told how a bear, thought to be tame, was brought to a birthday picnic as a prank but then it became aggressive and attacked them A singer is heard screaming in fear as a bear rampaged during a birthday picnic, leaving a man covered in blood in a prank that went badly wrong. The angry brown bear is seen on the video running through long grass towards Gulnaz Asaeva, 27, and her group. She is heard shouting 'Bear'. A man's voice then says: 'Quiet, take the camera away,' and another voice is urging: 'Run away.' Gulnaz continues in panic: 'Ahhh! It's a bear!' before there are more screams of terror. She posted a photo of her manager and concert director Vadim Fathinurov, 37, in an ambulance and covered in blood after he was attacked by the bear. Amid concern from fans over the incident, the singer later claimed the bear attack was a prank that went badly wrong. It comes after an octopus 'climbed out of aquarium tank' and 'tries to eat boy, 6,' in front of his mum. Gulnaz said: "We decided to shoot a video, went to a location with my whole team. The scenario of the video was that each of the participants prepares a prank in advance, but no one knows about this prank. As a result, our concert director Vadim decided to invite a tame bear to the location where we were filming. 'Naturally, when we saw the bear, we were all just in shock…. We screamed, squealed, because these were just indescribable emotions.' She confessed: 'I thought that we were living the last seconds of our lives, because the bear was running straight at us. But then Vadim calmed us all down. He said: 'Look, this is a tame bear' 'He extended his hand to [the bear] in order to calm us down. And the bear just bit him at that moment.' The ambulance was called and he was given first aid. Asaeva was marking the birthday of her husband Vildan Shamsutdinov, 27, a singer with the stage name Villi, when the bear attacked in Russian region Bashkortostan. She is famous for her heartfelt Tatar‑language and Russian songs as well as dynamic live shows. It comes after a tourist was dragged into a ravine and killed by a bear after posing for a selfie with its cub. Omar Farang Zin was mauled on the roadside before being dragged 260ft down a steep hill into a forest in Romania, last month. Police and emergency services said that after an hour of searching for him, the 38-year-old's lifeless body was found. Just one day before the tragic incident, the motorcyclist had posted a series of pictures on Facebook of a large bear which appeared to be standing extremely close to him. Omar had also shared a selfie posing with a bear cub. Omar, who came from Samarate near Milan, Italy, was travelling on the Transfagarasan mountain road. He was seen allegedly trying to feed a bear in an area with signposts warning not to do so. Arge Mountain Rescue spokesperson Ion Snduloiu said: "He was attacked by a female bear and dragged close to the water. "Those who know the place know that there is approximately 80 metres difference in gradient. The animal was so aggressive that it carried him to within 10 to 15 metres from the shore. "Unfortunately, he was already dead when we arrived. The injuries were extremely severe. Even though he was wearing a helmet and full protective gear, it wasn't enough." The mayor's office later stated that the bear had been shot dead by hunters.
