The soldiers who stopped the shooter at the military base Fort Stewart in Georgia on September 7, 2025, received recognition for their bravery. During the incident, when 28-year-old Sergeant Quornelius Redford opened fire, five people were injured, but all the injured are awaiting recovery.

Brigadier General John Lubas stated that military personnel "did not hesitate" to respond to the sound of gunfire and attacked the shooter. U.S. Army Secretary Den Driscoll stated that the soldiers "engaged in the fight" to prevent further injuries.

After the shooting, Redford was detained, and his father revealed that the son had sent a strange message to the family, indicating that he loved everyone and that he would soon do something. Redford had previously been charged with racism at the base and had sought to transfer from Fort Stewart.
