Five soldiers were shot Wednesday after an active shooter opened fire at Fort Stewart military base in east Georgia, the Army said.
The shooter has been “apprehended” by law enforcement and there is currently no active threat to the community, according to a post from the fort’s verified Facebook account.
All of the soldiers were “treated on-site and moved to Winn Army Community Hospital for further treatment,” the post said.
The base, less than an hour’s drive from Savannah, was locked down shortly after 11 a.m. ET in response to the active shooter incident, Fort Stewart said in an earlier post.
The incident occurred in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area, according to the account.
