Fort Stewart Gunman Named as Quornelius Radford

The gunman who opened fire on Fort Stewart Army Base in southeast Georgia has been identified as Quornelius Radford, law enforcement sources say.

Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but officials say the Army sergeant went on a shooting rampage in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (2ABCT) area of the base.

The attack left five soldiers injured and prompted a brief lockdown at Fort Stewart, which is one the country’s largest Army bases, officials said. Soldiers were seen seeking shelter as the active shooter warning was issued.

Sgt. Quornelius Radford allegedly opened fire at his place of work this morning, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division and Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, said.

‘It did involve his co-workers. We’re still not certain about the motivations,’ Lubas said of the attack.

Radford, an automated logistics sergeant, used a personal handgun to carry out the attack. It is unclear how we got the weapon onto the base.

Fellow soldiers tackled Radford after he started shooting, enabling authorities to take him into custody.
