NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — The Army sergeant accused of injuring five fellow soldiers at a Georgia Army Base last week is being held at Joint Base Charleston while he awaits a pretrial in the case.
Quornelius Radford is facing six counts of attempted murder, six counts of aggravated assault and a single count of domestic violence.
According to the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel, Radford shot five of his peers at Fort Stewart with a personal handgun. He is also accused of shooting at a sixth soldier during the attack but he missed and was subdued.
The Army states that the domestic violence charge stems from one of the victims being Radford's intimate partner.
The names of the victims have yet to be released.

According to the Associated Press, on the day of the shooting, soldiers in Radford's unit reported that they followed the sound of gunfire into the hallways of an office building where they found hazy gunsmoke in the air and wounded victims on the floor and in nearby offices.
Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the 3rd Infantry's commander, credited soldiers with saving lives by immediately rendering first aid, in some cases using their bare hands to staunch bleeding gunshot wounds.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll visited Fort Stewart the day after the shootings to award Meritorious Service Medalsto six soldiers who helped restrain the gunman and treat the victims.
