FORT STEWART, Ga. \u2014 A sergeant shot five soldiers Wednesday at one of the country\u2019s largest Army bases before he was quickly tackled by other Fort Stewart troops, forcing a brief lockdown, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but officials said the shooter was Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, who used a personal handgun, not a military firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radford opened fire where he worked but officials wouldn\u2019t speculate about a motive, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injured soldiers are stable and expected to recover, said Brig. Gen. John Lubas. The soldiers who tackled Radford helped ensure his arrest, said Lubas, who commands the 3rd Infantry Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties or wounded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
