Five troops injured after soldier opens fire at Georgia military base | 6 Aug 2025 | Five American soldiers were injured after an Army sergeant opened fire at a military base in the U.S. state of Georgia before being tackled by other troops. Officials say the soldier, identified as Quornelius Radford, opened fire with his own personal handgun, and was targeting his fellow troops. The attack at Fort Stewart, about 240 miles (386km) south east of Atlanta, triggered a lockdown at the sprawling Army base. All five soldiers who were shot are being treated for their injuries and are in stable condition, according to Brigadier General John Lubas, commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division. Speaking to reporters, Gen Lubas confirmed that the alleged attacker was an active-duty solider, and that he had not previously deployed to a combat zone.
