An Army sergeant accused of shooting five co-workers at a Georgia base is now seeking to plead guilty to attempted murder and other charges, military prosecutors have confirmed.

Sergeant Quornelius Radford, 28, allegedly used a personal handgun to open fire on members of his supply unit at Fort Stewart last August. The gunfire injured four soldiers and a civilian worker, identified as Radford’s romantic partner. Bystanders intervened, disarming and restraining the sergeant. Prosecutors state there were six victims in total, including one person Radford shot at but missed.
