Five Soldiers Were Shot At Fort Stewart Army Base In Georgia [VIDEO]

Gunfire erupted at Fort Stewart in Georgia this morning, prompting the base commander to lock down facilities in the wake of this “active shooter” incident.  Five US soldiers were hospitalized Wednesday morning after another active duty soldier opened fire in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area.

According to reports, the wounded were “treated on-site and moved to Winn Army Community Hospital for further treatment.” All victims are in stable condition and expected to recover. Three of the soldiers required surgery, and two were transferred to Memorial Health University medical center in Savannah, the top-level trauma center for coastal Georgia.

The suspect has since been arrested.  Officials identified 28-year-old Sgt. Quornelius Radford from Jacksonville, Florida, as the shooting suspect, who allegedly used a personal handgun in the attack, and fellow soldiers immediately “tackled the soldier, subdued” him to stop the attack.
