Authorities are intensifying efforts to locate a suspect following a shooting that resulted in one fatality and five injuries at a cosmetics warehouse in New Albany, Ohio, late Tuesday night. The incident, reported around 10:30 p.m., was characterized by police as potentially "targeted." New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones confirmed that a gunman has been identified, and authorities are currently working to apprehend this individual, described as Bruce Reginald Foster. It remains unclear if Foster was an employee at the warehouse, which belongs to KDC/One, a company specializing in beauty and personal care products.

Witnesses reported scenes of chaos as roughly 150 employees evacuated the facility. Police arrived to find some individuals already fleeing the premises while others were escorted to safety. According to Jones, a firearm was recovered from the scene, but authorities are confident there is no ongoing threat to the community.

Six victims from the shooting were reported, with one person confirmed dead inside the building. The mayor expressed condolences, stating, "Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families and everyone that works at this facility." Police are conducting interviews with witnesses, although a language barrier has complicated some discussions as many employees were unaware of the situation until they were evacuated.

This tragic event has left the New Albany community reeling as they come to grips with the implications of this incident that unfolded just 15 miles northeast of Columbus. The police are urging anyone with information regarding Foster's whereabouts to contact them as the investigation unfolds.
