US base attack leaves 5 injured
(AFP): A shooter opened fire at a US military base in the southern state of Georgia on Wednesday, wounding five soldiers before being apprehended.
Fort Stewart, a large army base that is home to thousands of soldiers and families, went into lockdown as emergency teams raced to respond to the "active shooter" situation.
A statement on the base's official Facebook page later said the shooter was in custody, without providing details about their identity or potential motive.
"All Soldiers were treated on-site and moved to Winn Army Community Hospital for further treatment," the base said of those wounded.
"The incident remains under investigation and no additional information will be released until the investigation is complete."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump had been briefed, while US Attorney General Pam Bondi said federal law enforcement were "coordinating to provide support."
