Gunfire erupted at the Army base Wednesday morning, prompting the commander to lock down facilities in the wake of an “active shooter” incident.
Who is Quornelius Radford? What we know about the Fort Stewart shooting suspect. The soldier accused of shooting five other service members at Fort Stewart today is a 28-year-old who has been assigned to the Georgia base for around three years, officials said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that he is praying for the victims of the shooting at Fort Stewart today and that “swift justice be brought to the perpetrator.”
The shooting left five “brave Soldiers” wounded, Hegseth said on social media.
“Our prayers are with them, their families, and the entire Fort Stewart community in the aftermath of this attack,” said Hegseth, who thanked “the law enforcement heroes who charged into danger.”
He said anyone else found to be involved will be brought to justice.
