Five soldiers were shot on August 7, 2025, in a 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area at Fort Stewart, Georgia. All victims are expected to make a full recovery, with three released from the hospital the following day. The suspect, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, is an active-duty automated logistics noncommissioned officer. Witness accounts and Army officials confirm that fellow soldiers tackled and disarmed Radford immediately after the shooting, preventing further injuries. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll visited Fort Stewart on August 8 to personally commend six soldiers for their quick response, awarding medals and praising their actions as life-saving. Investigators report that Radford used a personal 9mm handgun. How the firearm was brought into the secured workspace is under investigation. Military charges are pending, and no motive has been officially released.
