An active-duty Army sergeant is accused of shooting five soldiers at Fort Stewart in Georgia on Wednesday before nearby soldiers subdued him. The suspect is in custody and the wounded soldiers are in stable condition and expected to recover, according to Army officials. Three of the five victims needed surgery.
The suspect is 28-year-old Quornelius Radford, an Army logistics sergeant from Jacksonville, Florida, who used a personal handgun to allegedly carry out the shooting.
Brig. Gen. John Lubas said in a statement that nearby soldiers acted quickly. He said “soldiers in the area that witnessed the shooting immediately and without hesitation tackled” Radford and “subdued him.”
Lubas further said that Army officials did not know at the time how the suspect was able to bring a firearm into the area.
Radford is being detained as charges are drafted against him. He was assigned to a combat brigade, but Lubas said he had not been deployed into combat.
According to the Army, the victims were co-workers of the suspect, but the suspect’s motivations is nevertheless undetermined. Army investigators were interviewing him in an attempt to learn more about his motivation. Early reports indicate no known behavioral issues with Radford.
The suspect was arrested this year for a DUI, Lubas confirmed, but that fact wasn’t known to his superiors.
The incident happened at 10:56 a.m., according to an update posted on Fort Stewart’s Facebook page. The installation quickly went into lockdown, though it has now been lifted.

This is what Obama calls a “workplace” shooting.
I’d be pissed too if I had three nostrils.
GOOD CATCH
> Quornelius
CNN (sorry)
An active-duty Army sergeant was taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of opening fire at his workplace on the sprawling Fort Stewart military base in Georgia, wounding five of his fellow soldiers, authorities said.
The suspect, identified as Sgt. Quornelius Samentrio Radford, 28, was subdued by nearby soldiers after he began shooting with a personal handgun, striking coworkers, according to Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the commanding general of the 3rd Infantry Division.
All five soldiers are in stable condition, Lubas said at a news conference Wednesday. Radford’s motive is not known.
He looks like a mental midget.
E-5??
In the Navy if we “subdued” a thief, the master chief would expect for him to have a few bruises. From falling down, of course.
Those are called blow holes.
His co-workers were probably making fun of his jeans. :D
Orca be repulsed.
I wonder what demographic the victims are.
Exactly I’ll bet they’re all Caucasians
Spoiler! Dang. I wanted to play Can You Guess the Race? for cash and prizes!
Three nostrils? His name should have been Trinorlius instead of Quornelius.
Maybe he was pissed cuz he was constantly being called Queernelius by his co-workers. Modern day, “boy named Sue” syndrome.
Not normally enough to cause a shooting ...but who knows nowadays...soldiers can be a little rough...
Either way...he needs a long time in jail.
Did CNN describe him as possibly White?
