AUGUSTA, Ga. — A U.S. Army post in Georgia was placed on lockdown on Saturday following a shooting incident that resulted in a fatality. Base officials characterized the occurrence as an isolated event.

Authorities confirmed that the individual responsible for the shooting was apprehended, and after approximately two hours, the installation received an “all clear” signal from its operations center via social media.

The incident occurred within the housing area of Fort Eisenhower, situated just outside Augusta, Georgia. Details regarding the victim are being withheld pending notification of their family, as per the base’s protocol. The investigation is being managed by the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division.

“Fort Eisenhower is providing active support to the victim’s family, and resources will be accessible for anyone affected by this unfortunate event,” stated the installation in an official communication.

On Saturday morning, the base sent out an alert through social media with an urgent “LOCK DOWN! LOCK DOWN!” notification, which instructed personnel to implement lockdown protocols immediately and to take necessary precautions if they felt unsafe.

Shortly thereafter, the operations center announced that the threat had been neutralized and that the facility could return to regular operations. Nevertheless, all events related to the Army-Navy football game scheduled for later that day, which was taking place outside of Washington, D.C., were canceled.

Attempts to reach the base’s public affairs officer, the spokesperson for the medical center, and a representative from the nearby Richmond County Sheriff’s Office for further comments were unsuccessful.

Previously called Fort Gordon, the installation is now known as home to the United States Army Cyber Command.
