On August 6, 2025, a shooting incident occurred at Fort Stewart, a U.S. Army base in Georgia, resulting in five soldiers being injured. The incident took place at 10:56 a.m. in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area, where 28-year-old automated logistics Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly used a personal handgun to shoot his co-workers. Radford, a resident of Jacksonville, Florida, was apprehended by 11:35 a.m., and all lockdown measures were lifted shortly afterward, as confirmed by Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division and Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield. The motive remains unclear, and it is not yet determined how Radford brought the firearm to his workplace, though he had no prior known behavioral or disciplinary issues. Radford has been interviewed by Army investigators and is now in pretrial confinement. His military background includes a DUI arrest, previously unknown to his chain of command until the investigation began. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed support for the victims and their families, while President Donald Trump was briefed on the incident and emphasized that the Army Criminal Investigation Division would prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law. The full circumstances are still under investigation, with access to combat firearms on base restricted to field training and stored in an armory when not in use.
