Developing story.

Scanner traffic said there were "two separate incidents" and that a "second shooter" is upstairs in a second building at Fort Stewart.

It's at a military base, I'm sure the second shooter is someone shooting back.

Meh. I'm not so sure. Clinton pretty thoroughly defanged all servicemembers on base. Unless you're at the range, you're generally not armed on a military base.*

More likely "fog of war" impacting the accuracy of the reporting.




*Obviously, I could be wrong

Dumb. They should let military carry at least a sidearm on base.

Hopefully this was an isolated incident and not a mass shooting event. If so, hopefully it is ended with quickness.

Most service members are never issued a sidearm.

Officers can have sidearms. Enlisted can't

Only second brigade locked down. However all gates are closed. This is a base with 21,000 personnel.

There is always helicopter traffic in the air around the base. My daughter’s farm is over near Statesboro. Used to flyovers on the weekends.

Shooter disarmed and in custody.

I will never understand why every single solider there isnt armed.

If you cant trust them with a weapon why are they in the military?

Do bases not have armed guards, prison style? They should.
