Army Secretary Honors Fort Stewart Shooting Heroes

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll honored six soldiers for their heroic actions in subduing Sgt. Quornelius Samentrio Radford, who allegedly shot and wounded five fellow service members at Fort Stewart using a personal handgun. The soldiers quickly intervened, with one tackling Radford and another assisting, while four provided immediate aid to the injured, actions credited with saving lives. The shooting reportedly followed a disagreement between Radford and one of the victims. Radford, a 28-year-old automated logistics sergeant who joined the Army in 2018 and had no prior deployments or behavioral incidents, was recently arrested for DUI, though his chain of command was unaware. Three of the wounded soldiers have been released from the hospital, while two remain in stable condition. Driscoll emphasized the soldiers' bravery, connecting it to the Army's commitment during its 250th anniversary year.
