Five Soldiers Shot After Gunman Opens Fire At Georgia Military Base

A gunman opened fire at Fort Stewart in eastern Georgia on Wednesday, shooting five U.S. Army soldiers, before the shooter was apprehended.

All five of the victims were treated at the base before they were transported to Winn Army Community Hospital, the Army base said in a post on social media. The extent of their injuries is unknown.

“Law enforcement was dispatched for a possible shooting in the 2nd ABCT complex at 10:56 a.m. The shooter was apprehended at 11:35 a.m.,” Fort Stewart said.

The base said that the shooting remains under investigation and “no additional information will be released until the investigation is complete.”

Fort Stewart is the largest U.S. Army installation east of the Mississippi River and is home to the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division.

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp posted on X, “As we remain in close contact with law enforcement on the ground, Marty, the girls, and I are saddened by today’s tragedy at Ft. Stewart. We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting and is “monitoring the situation.”
