During Wednesday afternoon comments, President Donald Trump made clear the Fort Stewart shooter “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
He added, “The entire nation is praying for the victims and their families, and hopefully they’ll fully recover, and we can put this chapter behind, but we’re not going to forget what happened.”
FOX News carried Trump’s comments:
Breitbart News reported that Brig. Gen. John Lubas indicated the shooter is an active duty soldier who allegedly opened fire on soldiers who were his co-workers on base.
The soldier who opened fire on his fellow soldiers allegedly used a “personal handgun” he purchased in Florida in May.
