Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll highlighted acts of heroism made by soldiers at Fort Stewart during a shooting at the base on Thursday.

Driscoll recounted six soldiers who courageously “put themselves in harms way” during the incident where five individuals were shot. He mentioned that one soldier, whose name wasn’t shared, managed to restrain the alleged shooter, U.S. Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford.

“The fast action of these soldiers, under stress and under trauma and under fire, absolutely saved lives from being lost,” Driscoll said.

He noted that a second soldier leaped onto both Radford and the soldier who had tackled him, while the other four quickly moved the injured to receive medical attention.

Regarding the five soldiers wounded in the attack, three have been discharged from the hospital. The remaining two are stable but are facing prolonged recovery periods.

Radford, who has been apprehended, is 28 years old and served as an automated logistics sergeant assigned to the ABCT.

The Army said Radford is from Jacksonville, Florida, and joined the Army as an Automated Logistical Specialist in January 2018.

The Army also said Radford has never been deployed.

He was arrested following the shooting and is currently in pre-trial confinement.
