US Army sergeant shot five soldiers at Georgia's Fort Stewart, official says
Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but the suspect is an army sergeant, according to a US official. The official was not authorised to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The army said it is investigating. The injured were treated and then moved to Winn Army Community Hospital, base officials said in a Facebook post, adding there was no threat to the community. Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team complex shortly before 11am local time on Wednesday. The gunman was arrested at 11.35am, officials said. Fort Stewart was locked down for around one hour on Wednesday (Russ Bynum/AP) The lockdown lasted about an hour, and three schools just outside the base took steps similar to a lockdown as well, 'out of an abundance of caution', the Liberty County School System 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 Armoured 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 south west of Savannah, Fort Stewart is the largest army post east of the Mississippi River. It is home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the army's 3rd Infantry Division and family members. The fort's three elementary schools were also locked down, community superintendent Brian Perry told WTOC-TV. The schools have nearly 1,400 students, according to the Department of Defence. White House and Defence Department officials said President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had been briefed on the shooting. The FBI was at the fort to help investigate, said deputy director Dan Bongino.

'Deeply-loved' father-of-one shot dead as he closed coffee shop in east London
This is the first picture of a former social club owner shot dead in a plush east London neighbourhood. Erdal Ozmen, 45, was found suffering multiple gunshot injuries in Dynevor Road, Stoke Newington at just after midnight on Tuesday. According to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, he was gunned down as he closed up a coffee shop he had been running for two weeks in the trendy neighbourhood. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Murder detectives say the motive for the murder remains unclear and no arrests have been made. Liza Dodds, 58, spoke of seeing the victim getting CPR at the scene in the early hours. She told MailOnline: 'My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was 'how do you know?' 'We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever.' Another tribute posted on Facebook said: 'They shot my brother. May God damn those who did this. My heart aches for you, my dear. 'May your reign last forever, my beautiful brother.' This is the sixth fatal shooting in London this year. More Trending Erdal's family continue to receive support from specialist officers. DCI Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward following the fatal shooting of Erdal. He was a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family. 'Today, we are asking the public for assistance. Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning? Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual – maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle? 'The smallest piece of information could play a significant role in our investigation.'
