Shooting Incident at Fort Eisenhower Leaves One Dead

On December 14, 2024, a shooting at Fort Eisenhower in Augusta, Georgia, resulted in one fatality, prompting a lockdown of the Army base. The victim was shot in on-post housing, and the base issued an urgent alert on social media instructing personnel to execute lockdown procedures. Authorities apprehended a suspect shortly after the incident, which was deemed isolated with no ongoing threat to the community. The lockdown lasted about two hours, ending with an all-clear announcement at 9:45 AM, although several planned events were canceled in light of the tragedy.
