AUGUSTA, Ga. — A U.S. Army installation in Georgia was locked down Saturday after a person was shot and killed in what base authorities described as an isolated incident.
The shooter was apprehended and taken into custody, and an “all clear” was given about two hours after Fort Eisenhower went into lockdown, the installation’s operations center said on social media.
The shooting took place at housing located on the base, which is located outside Augusta, Georgia, authorities said.
Information about the victim will not be released until their family has been notified, according to the base.
The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division was leading the shooting investigation.
“Fort Eisenhower is actively supporting the victim’s family and assistance will be available to anyone impacted by this tragedy,” the installation said in a statement.
