Six Soldiers Hailed After Fort Stewart Shooting

Six soldiers at Fort Stewart, Georgia, were honored by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll for tackling and subduing Sgt. Quornelius Radford, who allegedly shot five fellow soldiers with a personal handgun in violation of base regulations. The intervention by these unarmed soldiers is credited with preventing further casualties and ensuring Radford's arrest until federal law enforcement arrived. All five injured soldiers were hospitalized, three required surgery, and one faces a longer recovery period; all are expected to recover. The incident has reignited concerns about security measures and behavioral warning signs on military bases. Army officials confirmed that personal firearms are prohibited on base, and an investigation into the shooter's motive is ongoing. The shooting has prompted renewed calls for vigilance and improved safety protocols at U.S. military installations.
