ATLANTA (Reuters) -A U.S. Army sergeant shot and wounded five soldiers with a personal handgun on Wednesday at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield near Savannah, Georgia, before he was subdued by other soldiers and arrested, military officials said.

All five soldiers were listed in stable condition following the incident and are expected to recover, though three required surgery, according to Brigadier General John Lubas, the base commander.
