On Wednesday, \u00a028-year active-duty Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford opened fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia, leaving five people wounded.<\/p>\n

During a presser following the incident, Brigadier General John Lubas noted that fellow soldiers tackled Radford<\/a> as soon as he opened fire. \u00a0These heroes prevented untold additional violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers in the area that witnessed the shooting immediately, and without hesitation, tackled the soldier, subdued him, and allowed law enforcement to then take him into custody,\u201d Lubas said.<\/p>\n

Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll noted the bravery of the soldiers who stopped the perpetrator.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, and the administration, and President Trump could not be more proud of them. They are everything that is good about this nation. \u00a0They are the best among us in our country, they are the best among us in the Army.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Secretary Driscoll noted, \u201cOne of the more important things we were able to do this morning, though, is to recognize the heroism of these six soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the soldiers tackled the person\u2026so just think about this\u2026they were unarmed and ran and tackled an armed person who they knew was actively shooting their buddies, their colleagues, their fellow soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother soldier jumped on top of the person to subdue them until federal law enforcement was able to arrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other soldiers, immediately using their training they had developed over years and years, started to take over caring for mass casualties, the hospitals they took them to in March had just run a mass casualty exercise for a moment just like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
