The gunman who opened fire on Fort Stewart Army Base in southeast Georgia has been identified as Quornelius Radford, law enforcement sources say.
Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but officials say the Army sergeant went on a shooting rampage in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (2ABCT) area of the base.
The attack left five soldiers injured and prompted a brief lockdown at Fort Stewart, which is one the country’s largest Army bases, officials said. Soldiers were seen seeking shelter as the active shooter warning was issued.
President Donald Trump has been briefed on the incident and the White House is ‘monitoring the situation’.
