Five soldiers were shot Wednesday morning at Fort Stewart, a U.S. Army base in Georgia, the base said on social media.

The shooter was apprehended and the soldiers were taken to Winn Army Community Hospital for treatment, Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield said on Facebook.

Law enforcement responded to an active shooter incident at the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team complex in the base at 10:56 a.m., and the shooter was apprehended at 11:35 a.m., according to the base.

The base, about 40 miles southwest of Savannah, Georgia, houses the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division. The complex where the shooting occurred remains locked down, and the shooting is under investigation, Fort Stewart said. The FBI’s Savannah office is coordinating with the Army Criminal Investigation Division in response to the shooting, FBI Atlanta said on X.

Fort Stewart spans about 440 square miles across five counties. It is primarily the home of the 3rd Infantry Division, a force of about 20,000 soldiers. The division’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team numbers about 4,000 and is equipped with an array of heavy weapons, including battle tanks.

The fort has experienced several tragedies this year. Two soldiers from the same brigade were killed in a training accident near the base in late January when their vehicle rolled into standing water. In March, four soldiers died when their armored recovery vehicle fell into a bog in Lithuania; it took a week to recover their remains.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that President Donald Trump has been briefed on the shooting and the White House is monitoring the situation.

Georgia Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D) said on X that he was “heartbroken to see the news of an active shooter incident at Fort Stewart today.”

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said on X that he and his family are “saddened by today’s tragedy at Ft. Stewart” and are “keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers.”
