Police are on the lookout for suspect Bruce Reginald Foster III in connection to a shooting at a manufacturing facility on Smith’s Mill Road in New Albany that occurred at around 10:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Feb. 4, the New Albany Police Department announced in news release.
“The NAPD responded to reports of an active shooter at KDC/ONE in the 8000 block of Smith’s Mill Road,” said police. They confirmed that one victim died at the scene inside the building, per the release.
A photo of suspect Foster was shared in the release. He is described by police as having brown hair and brown eyes and is 6 feet tall and 175 pounds.
The five injured victims were transported to local hospitals following the incident. Their conditions are unknown at this time.
According to police, 150 employees at the warehouse where the shooting took place were “safely evacuated,” per the release.
NAPD Chief Greg Jones said in a news conference, per LiveNOW from Fox, “The suspect we had learned had left the building or left the area before our arrival. We quickly evacuated approximately 150 other employees to a neighboring building.”
Foster is believed to have been working at the facility at the time of the shooting, according to Jones. He had been working there “for some time” and was at the building “several hours before this shooting happened.”
A motive for the shooting has not been determined at this point, nor any confrontation or dispute that might have led to the incident, Jones said, per LiveNOW from Fox.
The chief confirmed at the news conference that one weapon, a handgun, was recovered at the scene and that police are currently visiting certain local addresses to try and find the suspect.
The deceased victim was not local to New Albany, Jones reported.
Jones said in a statement, “This is a heartbreaking and tragic situation. Our officers, alongside multiple agencies, responded swiftly to protect lives and secure the scene.”
“We train for situations like this, and while it is something no community ever wants to face, we were prepared to act quickly and effectively. We will continue working to bring this situation to a full resolution.”
