Multiple casualties have been reported at Fort Stewart in Georgia as the base was placed on lockdown amid reports of an active shooter.
Although the details currently remain unclear, Fort Stewart Police Department spokesperson Lt. Col. Angel Tomko confirmed the reports of an active shooter.
The Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield official Facebook page wrote: “Casualties have been reported and the situation is ongoing.”
“The installation was locked down at 11:04 a.m. and law enforcement is on the scene at the time,” the post read.
Meanwhile, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued an X post, adding: “As we remain in close contact with law enforcement on the ground, Marty, the girls, and I are saddened by today’s tragedy at Ft. Stewart. We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same.”
Fort Stewart is currently under lockdown, as Newsweek reported that there is “at least one active shooter” situation in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area.
The outlet added that there is potentially a second shooter, as scanner traffic pointed towards “two separate events.”
Fort Stewart is home to the 3rd Infantry Division, housing over 10,000 soldiers, family members, and Army civilian employees.
This situation is ongoing. Check back for updates.
