The U.S. Army has lifted its lockdown at Fort Stewart in Georgia Wednesday after an active shooter incident caused at least five casualties of U.S. soldiers.
The five injured soldiers are all in stable condition, and the suspect, a U.S. Army sergeant at the base, is in custody after being tackled by fellow soldiers.
The suspect is identified as Sgt. Quornelius Radford, assigned to a sustainment unit in the 2nd Brigade at Ft. Stewart.
“The shooting occurred at the soldier’s place of work,” said Brig. Gen. John Lubas, 3rd Infantry commanding general. “I would also like to thank the brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subdued the shooter. These soldiers without a doubt prevented further casualties.”
