Soldier Who Opened Fire at Fort Stewart Used ‘Personal Handgun’

The soldier in active service who would have opened fire on the other soldiers did it Wednesday with his “personal handgun”, according to ABC News.

Breitbart News reported that Brig. General John Lubas spoke at a press conference in the afternoon and said the shooter had opened fire to colleagues at his workplace in Fort Stewart in Georgia.

CNN noted that Lubas said that the alleged shooter is an “automated logistics sergeant and was assigned to the 2nd brigade combat team”.

ABC News said that the authorities had not yet determined how the shooter put his gun in the workplace.

CNN reported that the pistol was a 9 mm, which the soldier had bought in Florida in May. The pistol was recovered on the scene, as well as “many shells”.

The five soldiers injured in the attack should survive.
