A U.S. Army installation in Georgia was locked down Saturday after a person was shot and killed in what base authorities described as an isolated incident.

The shooter was apprehended and taken into custody, and an “all clear” was given less than an hour after Fort Eisenhower went into lockdown, the installation’s operations center said on social media.

The shooting took place at housing located on the base, which is located outside Augusta, Georgia, authorities said.
