Overview

  • Army prosecutors preferred multiple specifications against Radford, including two counts of attempted premeditated murder, four of attempted unpremeditated murder, three of aggravated assault and one domestic violence specification
  • The charges relate to an Aug. 6 incident at Fort Stewart in which Radford allegedly wounded five soldiers and fired at a sixth with a personal handgun
  • One victim is officially identified as Radford’s intimate partner, triggering the domestic violence count under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
  • Radford, 28, remains in pretrial confinement and is set to transfer to the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston while awaiting the preliminary hearing
  • Investigators and commanders are reviewing the base response and unit conditions after six soldiers who disarmed the suspect and tended to the wounded received Meritorious Service Medals
