Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll highlighted acts of heroism made by soldiers at Fort Stewart during a shooting at the base on Thursday.

Driscoll spoke of six soldiers who "put themselves in harms way" during the attack that saw five people shot. He said one of the soldiers, who went unnamed, tackled the alleged shooter, U.S. Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford.

"The fast action of these soldiers, under stress and under trauma and under fire, absolutely saved lives from being lost," Driscoll said, praising the soldiers for their "heroism."

Driscoll said a second soldier jumped on top of Radford and the other solider after he'd been tackled, while the other four rushed those injured in the shooting to receive care.
