WASHINGTON (AA) - A possible active shooter was reported Wednesday at a US Army base in the state of Georgia.
The Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield (FSHAA) Commander issued a lockdown in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (2ABCT) area for Fort Stewart, including Wright and Evans Army Airfield.
"Lockdown your facility immediately, stay inside, close and lock all windows and doors. Keep telephone lines open and report accountability to your leadership," the FSHAA said on Facebook.
The installation was locked down at 11.04 a.m. Eastern Time (1504GMT) and law enforcement is on the scene, it said.
No details about casualties or the shooter’s status have been revealed.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said his office remains "in close contact" with law enforcement on the ground.
"We are keeping the victims, their families, and all those who answer the call to serve in our hearts and prayers, and we ask that Georgians everywhere do the same," Kemp said on X.
