From Fox News: The man accused of shooting five soldiers at Fort Stewart in Georgia on Wednesday morning has been identified as U.S. Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford.
The soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) area of the base, according to a social media post by the U.S. Army.
All the soldiers were treated on-site and then transported to Winn Army Community Hospital, according to Fort Stewart officials.
Radford, who has been apprehended, is 28 years old and serves as an automated logistics sergeant assigned to the ABCT.
Radford, from Jacksonville, Florida, enlisted in the Army in January 2018, and has never been deployed to combat duty.
This Radford’s second recent arrest. On May 18, just less than 3 months ago, he was arrested in Georgia for driving under the influence and for running a red light.
Radford’s mugshot from the arrest in May is now circulating on social media. According to a screenshot of voter registration records, he is a registered Democrat.
