(CNN) — Five US soldiers were hospitalized after a shooting at the Army’s Fort Stewart on Wednesday, which put the installation, about 30 miles southwest of Savannah, and at least six schools into lockdown.
Each of the soldiers was shot, according to a post on the verified Facebook page for Fort Stewart and the associated Hunter Army Airfield. The extent of their injuries was unclear, but all were taken to Winn Army Community Hospital.
The suspect is an Army sergeant, according to a law enforcement official. He is alive and in custody.
The suspect – who has not been publicly identified – was apprehended at 11:35 a.m., nearly 40 minutes after Fort Stewart went into lockdown as shots were fired in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area, the Facebook post said. There is no active threat
