A mass shooting at an Army installation in Georgia left the military community rocked and the nation with questions about the suspect's motives and how he brought an outside gun onto the base, with officials expected to provide more information on Aug. 7.
The shooting at Fort Stewart unfolded late morning on Aug. 6 when Army officials said a sergeant opened fire on his own team, using a personal handgun to shoot and injure five fellow soldiers before being tackled and subdued by other soldiers. All five were expected to recover, Army Brig. Gen. John Lubas told reporters.
The suspect, 28-year-old Sgt. Quornelius Radford, was taken into custody. The automated logistics noncommissioned officer was stationed at Fort Stewart and had a recent arrest for driving under the influence.
Here's what we know:
The shooting broke out just before 11 a.m. on Aug. 6 in an area of the south Georgia installation associated with the 3rd Infantry Division’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, a tank unit that returned from a deployment in Europe in the summer of 2024, Lubas said.
