Fort Stewart, a significant U.S. Army base in Georgia, experienced an active shooter incident on August 6, 2025. Around 10:56 a.m. local time, five soldiers were shot near the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team. After a quick lockdown and response by military police and local law enforcement, the suspect—who was identified as a fellow soldier—was captured and placed under arrest at 11:35 a.m.
Five soldiers were wounded, but no one was killed. Not all of the victims’ precise conditions have been made public, but at least two were transported to Savannah’s Memorial Health University Medical Center, a Level 1 trauma center, suggesting that their injuries were severe enough to require cutting-edge medical attention. In order to protect other people on the base during the incident, the authorities promptly locked it down.
The White House, Georgia officials, and military leadership all responded to the incident with great concern. Following the shooter’s capture, Fort Stewart’s official statement at the time affirmed that there was “no active threat to the community.”
The reason behind the shooting and any additional information regarding the suspect’s relationship with the victims have not yet been made public. The incident’s circumstances are being looked into by military and law enforcement officials. Updates are anticipated as more details become available, as this is still a developing story.
