El presidente Trump ha sido informado sobre el tiroteo en Fort Stewart en Georgia, dice el secretario de prensa de la Casa Blanca. Al menos cinco soldados resultaron heridos de bala antes de que se detuviera a un sospechoso, según las autoridades.

Fort Stewart

Five soldiers were shot at Fort Stewart, a military base in Georgia. The soldiers received treatment on site before being transported to local hospitals, with some possibly requiring further care due to the severity of their injuries. The suspect was apprehended within 30 minutes of the incident with assistance from local law enforcement. 

Army officials are investigating the circumstances of the shooting, including how the suspect accessed the base, the type of weapon used, and the motive. While there is no longer an active threat at Fort Stewart, the Army is maintaining heightened alert across other military bases in the United States to prevent potential copycat incidents.

Cinco soldados tiroteados en Fort Stewart, Georgia; detenido el sospechoso

Bien, vamos con el Pentágono y Ellie Watson, que está a la espera. Ellie, sabemos que el presidente ha sido informado de esto. Habías mencionado la última vez que hablamos que esperabas que escucháramos del Secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth. ¿Alguna novedad del Pentágono? Todavía no, creo que el secretario de defensa será informado hoy, pero no hemos oído una actualización sobre eso. Tenemos noticias de oficiales del ejército que aún están trabajando para confirmar el alcance de las heridas. Sabemos que cinco soldados heridos de bala, fueron tratados en el lugar y luego transportados al hospital comunitario. Y luego nuestro afiliado local dice que algunos pueden ir al hospital del área de Savannah, indicando que sus heridas pueden ser más graves. El tirador fue detenido. Parecía una situación tensa, 30 minutos tensos, pero el tirador fue detenido en 30 minutos una vez que la policía local ayudaron y detuvieron al tirador. Sabremos más a medida que avance el día sobre la gravedad de las heridas de los cinco soldados y la identidad del sospechoso como el Ejército de Investigación Criminal La división investiga esto, cómo el tirador llegó a la base, si tuvo acceso a la base, cuál era el tipo de arma, y el motivo. Bueno, y todos los ojos ahora mismo están puestos en ese campus de Fort Stewart, donde viven miles de personas. Pero también somos conscientes de que Fort Stewart es una de las muchas bases militares por todo los Estados Unidos. ¿Qué pasa cuando hay una situación de tiroteo activo en una base militar en otras bases del país? Creo que el Ejército estará en alerta máxima en todo el país, sólo para asegurarse, como su anterior invitado señaló, que nadie que tenga un hacha para con el Ejército intente aprovecharse de la tensión, algo de la tensión que está saliendo del incidente en Fort Stewart hoy. Fort Stewart dice que no hay más amenaza activa a la base allí, pero el Ejército, los militares de todo el país seguirán vigilando para asegurarse de que que no haya imitadores que intenten aprovecharse. Y sin duda la formación y la fuerza de los militares de América y las bases militares de allí, lo primero en mente para todos nosotros. Kelly Watson en el Pentágono, muchas gracias por hablar con nosotros una vez más.
