Fort Stewart is located about an hour southwest of Savannah and is home to the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division.

President Donald Trump described the gunman as a "horrible person", though his motives remain unclear. The army base where the incident took place was his place of work and those injured are colleagues of his.
