5 soldiers are shot at Georgia’s Fort Stewart

A shooter opened fire at the Army’s Fort Stewart in Georgia on Wednesday. The Army said five soldiers were shot and the shooter was apprehended.

In a post on Facebook, Fort Stewart, which is about 40 miles from the city of Savannah, said the soldiers were treated on-site and moved to Winn Army Community Hospital for further treatment.

Fort Stewart said, “There is no active threat to the community,” adding that the shooting is under investigation. FBI Atlanta’s Savannah office said it was aware of the incident and was coordinating with the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on X saying he and his family were saddened by the violence.

“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,” he wrote.
