Authorities in New Albany, Ohio arrested the gunman who opened fire at his workplace late Tuesday killing one person and wounding five others.
New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones identified the suspect as 28-year-old Bruce Foster III. The suspect had been at work at the KDC/ONE warehouse “for some time” before the shooting.
Officers responded to an active shooter report at around 10:30 p.m.
When they entered the building, they located six people with gunshot wounds. One of the victims died at the scene.
Jones said all of the victims were employees at the facility. He added that the suspect fled the scene in a car although he does not drive.
Foster had no criminal history and his actions appeared “targeted” but a motive remains unclear with no dispute or confrontation preceding the shooting.
“This has been a very tragic situation. Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families, and everybody that works at this facility,” Jones said.
“This is something that was hoped would never happen in our community, but we prepare for it, and this is where we are now.”
