“I was going to leave Fort Stewart and all Holy Hell broke loose! I can’t leave. They made me turn around at a gate that’s not that easy to turn an 18 wheeler around at. They had rifles and looked nervous. I asked them what I should do. All they told me was to turn around find somewhere to park. MP’s and police, and ambulances began going everywhere. So, I parked at the Army Exchange. Only place I knew to go. The base is now a ghost town. It’s an active shooter/s,” one person noted on Facebook.
