Unarmed Heroes Thwart Massacre at Fort Stewart: Inside the Shocking Shooting That Rocked a U.S. Army Base
In a gripping YouTube video titled “Unarmed HEROES Stop Massacre At Military Base! (Above)” from conservative commentator Jeremy of TheQuartering, the focus is squarely on the bravery of ordinary soldiers who stepped up in the face of terror. Posted on August 6, 2025—the very day of the incident—the video recounts how unarmed servicemen at Fort Stewart, Georgia, tackled and subdued a gunman who had just opened fire on their comrades, preventing what could have been a far deadlier rampage. Jeremy highlights the irony: On a heavily secured military base, where only military police are typically armed, it was quick-thinking, weaponless heroes who ended the threat. This act of valor echoes historic instances of civilian courage, like the Walmart shooting interventions Jeremy references, underscoring a timeless American spirit of self-sacrifice. But beyond the heroism, the video delves into the chaos of the morning’s events, painting a picture of a sudden betrayal from within the ranks that left five soldiers wounded and a nation questioning base security. The shooting unfolded around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at Fort Stewart, home to the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division and one of the largest military installations in the eastern United States.
Located near Hinesville, Georgia, the base spans over 280,000 acres and houses tens of thousands of soldiers and their families. What began as a routine day quickly escalated into horror when gunfire erupted in Building 842 of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. Emergency scanners crackled with urgency: “Mutual aid request for a gunshot wound on Fort Stewart. It’ll be building 842nd brigade. Gunshot wound. Mutual aid. There’s possibly five patients,” as captured in audio shared in Jeremy’s video. The base went into immediate lockdown, with alerts blaring for personnel to shelter in place as authorities scrambled to contain the situation. The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Sgt. Quornelius Radford, an automated logistics sergeant assigned to the same unit as his victims, allegedly used his personal handgun to carry out the attack. Radford, from Jacksonville, Florida, had no prior combat deployments and a relatively clean record, save for a recent DUI charge for which he was out on bond at the time of the shooting. According to Brig. Gen. John Lubas, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, Radford’s actions were unknown to his chain of command until the incident unfolded.
In a press conference streamed live and referenced in multiple reports, Lubas confirmed that Radford was subdued by fellow soldiers before law enforcement arrived, and he is now in pre-trial confinement awaiting charges from the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID). The FBI is assisting in the investigation, treating it as a potential mass shooting, though initial assessments suggest it may stem from a workplace dispute rather than terrorism. Radford’s father provided a glimpse into possible motives, telling reporters that his son had been seeking a transfer from Fort Stewart due to complaints of racism within his unit. This revelation has sparked discussions on X, with users like @pitbullpatriot3
speculating about racial tensions, posting: “I hate to be that guy but if all the victims were white we what’s up! The same old k*ll whitey theme going around the country!” While unconfirmed, such claims add layers to the investigation, echoing broader concerns about morale and division in the military. Radford’s background as a logistics specialist—far from a combat role—raises questions about how he smuggled a personal weapon onto the base, where strict policies limit arms to security personnel. As one X user, @CoffindafferFBI , a retired FBI agent, noted: “While a mass shooting, was this an Active Shooter situation or more of a disagreement that got out of hand? He shot 5 fellow soldiers with a handgun.”

The victims, all fellow soldiers from Radford’s unit, were rushed to Winn Army Community Hospital on base. Three required surgery, while two were transferred to Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah for advanced care. Officials, including Lubas, emphasized that all five are in stable condition and expected to recover fully, with families notified promptly. “They are all expected to recover,” Lubas stated in his briefing, praising the medical response. This relatively positive outcome owes much to the swift actions of bystanders—unarmed soldiers who witnessed the shooting and immediately intervened, tackling Radford and holding him until authorities arrived. Jeremy’s video lauds these these “heroes,” noting: “They were unarmed… tackled the suspect until police could arrive.” Their courage prevented further casualties, turning a potential massacre into a contained tragedy. Official responses poured in quickly. President Donald Trump condemned the shooting in a statement, calling for “full prosecution” of the suspect and expressing support for the victims and their families.
Democratic Whip Katherine Clark tweeted her devastation, praying for recovery and decrying the “senseless cycle of gun violence.” The base lifted its lockdown by midday, but counseling services were made available for affected personnel, acknowledging the psychological toll. Lubas reassured the public of Fort Stewart’s security, stating during the presser: “We are confident in our security measures,” though he admitted the incident exposed vulnerabilities in preventing insider threats. This shooting isn’t isolated; military bases have faced similar horrors before. Jeremy references the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, where Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 in a jihadist-inspired attack, and other incidents like the 2014 Fort Hood shooting that left three dead. Fort Stewart itself has seen violence, including a 1991 barracks stabbing spree. These events highlight ongoing challenges: Mental health strains, access to personal firearms, and internal conflicts amid a diverse force. With over 20,000 active-duty soldiers at Fort Stewart, the base is a microcosm of America’s military, where high-stress environments can exacerbate tensions. In the broader context, the incident reignites debates on gun control in the military. Bases enforce strict no-weapons policies for non-security personnel, yet personal firearms slip through, as in Radford’s case.
X users like @WhipKClark amplified calls for reform: “It’s time to end this senseless cycle of gun violence. Enough is enough.” Others, like @PUDINTAIN24 , detailed the victims’ unit ties, emphasizing the betrayal: “Five U.S. Army soldiers from the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team were injured.” As investigations unfold, questions linger: Was this preventable? Did racism or other grievances play a role? Radford’s father’s comments suggest deeper issues, potentially fueling a review of unit dynamics. The heroes’ story, as spotlighted in Jeremy’s video, offers a silver lining amid the tragedy. Their unarmed intervention saved lives, embodying the military ethos of brotherhood and duty. As one X post from @KSLA put it, sharing local records: “Fort Stewart shooting suspect was out on bond at the time of the shooting.” Yet, this event serves as a stark reminder of vulnerabilities even in fortified havens. With all victims on the mend, the focus shifts to justice for Radford and healing for Fort Stewart’s community. In a nation weary of violence, these unarmed saviors remind us that courage doesn’t always carry a gun—it resides in the heart.
