• Army Secretary Dan Driscoll honored the soldiers who sprang into action when an active-duty sergeant allegedly opened fire at Fort Stewart yesterday. One of the soldiers tackled the suspected gunman, another jumped on top of the suspect to subdue him and four others tended to the injured, Driscoll said.
• Quornelius Samentrio Radford, 28, was taken into custody and is accused of shooting five of his fellow service members. Two of the five wounded soldiers remain hospitalized, and the other three have been released, officials said.
• Radford’s motive is not known. He had a disagreement with one of the shooting victims on Tuesday, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the case.
