CNN confirmed:
The suspected shooter’s chain of command did not know that he had previously been arrested for driving under the influence, according to Brig. Gen. John Lubas, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division and Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield.
ADVERTISEMENT“I do believe he was arrested locally for a DUI. That was unknown to his chain of command until the event occurred and we and we started looking into the law enforcement databases,” Lubas said.
CNN previously reported the suspected shooter was arrested for driving under the influence in May, according to a law enforcement source.
At this time, Radford’s motive is unknown.
