NBC News reported:
The victims
The five soldiers who were shot were not identified, and their conditions were not immediately clear.
In a statement, the base said the soldiers were treated on site before being moved to Winn Army Community Hospital for further care.
The suspect
The suspected shooter was taken into custody at 11:35 a.m., the base said.
Three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter identified the suspect as Quornelius Radford.
The military has not released additional details.
Radford was reportedly arrested in May for drunk driving.
“The suspect, Sgt. Radford, had once been arrested by local authorities for alleged drunken driving — but his commanding officers had not known about that incident, officials said,” according to CNN.
“I do believe he was arrested locally for a DUI that was unknown to his chain of command until the event occurred,” Lubas said.
