5 soldiers wounded by fellow soldier in shooting at Fort Stewart in Georgia; suspect in custody, officials say
The alleged shooter, identified as Sgt. Quornelius Radford, was quickly "subdued" by other soldiers, Brig. Gen. John Lubas told reporters. Five soldiers were shot and wounded on Wednesday at a U.S. Army base in Georgia by a fellow soldier in a workplace shooting that prompted a lockdown, officials there say. In a post on its Facebook page, Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield said the shooting occurred in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area shortly before 11 a.m. local time. The alleged shooter was identified as Quornelius Radford, a 28-year-old automated logistics sergeant assigned to the 2nd Brigade Team. At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said Radford was quickly "subdued" by fellow soldiers before law enforcement arrived. "Soldiers in the area that witnessed the shooting immediately, and without hesitation tackled the soldier, subdued him, and allowed law enforcement to then take him into custody," Lubas said. "These soldiers without a doubt prevented further casualties." All five of the victims were transported to the hospital in stable condition, Lubas said. Three of the victims required surgery, and all are expected to recover. According to Lubas, the shooting occurred at Radford's place of work and involved his co-workers, but he would not speculate on a motive. Lubas said that Radford used a personal handgun, not a military-issued weapon, and that the incident remains under investigation. In an earlier alert announcing the lockdown, Fort Stewart said multiple 'casualties" had been reported in what was described as "an active shooter incident." Gates to the base were closed for several hours, and some schools in the area were briefly placed on lockdown. Fort Stewart, which is located about 40 miles southwest of Savannah, is home to about 10,000 people, including soldiers, family members and civilian employees, live there, according to its website. The FBI in Atlanta said on X that its office in Savannah was aware of the incident and "coordinating with Army Criminal Investigation Division for any assistance that might be needed." President Trump was briefed on the shooting, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wrote on X that he was "in close contact with law enforcement on the ground," adding that his family was "saddened by today's tragedy." "We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same," Kemp said.

The man accused of shooting five soldiers at Fort Stewart in Georgia on Wednesday morning has been identified as U.S. Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford. The soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) area of the base, according to a social media post by the U.S. Army.

The shooting Radford is accused of committing on Wednesday took place at his workplace. He allegedly used a personal weapon. This is a developing story.
