The shooting occurred just before 11 a.m., and it stemmed from a personal dispute with another soldier, who was Radford&#8217;s first victim. Radford used a personal handgun,and all five wounded soldiers are expected to recover. Radford was quickly subdued by fellow soldiers and taken into custody. He had no known <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >military disciplinary record<\/a> but had been arrested earlier that year on a DUI charge, unknown to military authorities at the time of the shooting. Radford will face trial under the military justice system. The incident drew responses from military leadership and President Donald Trump, condemning the attack and assuring justice will be served. Fort Stewart, home to the 3rd infantry Division, spans about 280,000 acres in Georgia.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A gunman who wounded five soldiers at a major military base in Georgia has been identified as a sergeant with seven years in service in the Army.<\/p>\n<p>At a news conference, Brigadier Gen.
