Share news:

An active shooter incident shook the Army base Fort Eisenhower in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday morning, leaving one person dead. The tragedy led to a swift lockdown of the base, which is home to over 110,000 residents, including soldiers and their families.

The lockdown was announced just before 9 a.m. local time through a post on the base’s social media. The message was clear and urgent: “IF YOU ARE IN DANGER TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION!” This prompted immediate safety measures across the base.

The suspect responsible for the shooting was quickly taken into custody. Local and state law enforcement agencies are now digging into the details of what happened to piece together the full story.
