LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE SHOOTING AT FORT STEWART

August 6, 2025

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

I am heartbroken by the horrific shooting of five soldiers at Fort Stewart in Georgia. My prayers are with the victims, their loved ones and our courageous service members. Our men and women in uniform and their families should never fear for their safety on a military base in the United States, but these unacceptable and unconscionable tragedies have become far too common. Enough.
