00:00I'd like to recognize and thank our army law enforcement and medical personnel
00:04and our partners from local state and federal law enforcement and emergency
00:09services for their quick response and support. I would also like to thank the
00:14brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subdued the shooter.
00:18These soldiers without a doubt prevented further casualties. Our wounded
00:23soldiers were initially evacuated to win army community hospital right here on
00:27Fort Stewart all arrived in stable condition and three of the five
00:32required surgical intervention. Two have been transported to Memorial
00:37Hospital in Savannah, Georgia for additional care. We have identified the
00:42alleged shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford, an automated logistics
00:48sergeant assigned to second brigade combat team. Sergeant Radford has not
00:52previously deployed to combat. Sergeant Radford has been interviewed by the
00:57Army Criminal Investigation Division and is currently in pretrial confinement,
01:02awaiting a charging decision by the Office of the Special Trial Counsel.
