Overview
- A military judge found Sgt. Quornelius Radford guilty on June 18, 2026, of multiple attempted-murder counts for a Fort Stewart shooting that wounded five people.
- Prosecutors say Radford used a personal handgun to shoot four soldiers and his then-fiancé during an attack on the 2nd Armored Brigade area on Aug. 6, 2025, and all victims survived.
- The two-day bench trial focused on intent with prosecutors arguing the attack targeted unit leaders and the defense saying Radford acted in a severe mental health crisis and sought death by cop.
- Radford had pleaded guilty in March to aggravated assault and domestic violence but denied intent to kill, he waived a jury of peers, and sentencing is scheduled with attempted-murder penalties that can include life.
- Fellow soldiers tackled and disarmed Radford, received awards for their actions, and the case has raised questions about unit oversight and mental health support for troops.
