HINESVILLE, Ga. - We now know the charges against a U.S. Army sergeant accused of shooting five fellow soldiers at Georgia's Fort Stewart Army base.
On Tuesday, 28-year-old Army Sgt. Quornelius Radford made his first appearance in a military courtroom.
The backstory:
Radford was arrested Aug. 6 after officials say he opened fire with a personal handgun on members of his supply unit.
The shooting caused the Army post near Savannah and multiple school systems to go into lockdown for hours.
Officials say Radford was stopped when soldiers in the area tackled him and wrestled his gun away, restraining him until military police arrived. All five of the wounded soldiers survived the attack.
The Army confirmed the weapon used was his personal firearm, not a military-issued gun. Investi
