Police reported early Wednesday that a shooting at a warehouse in Ohio had left at least one person dead and five others injured, sparking a manhunt.
Greg Jones, the chief of the New Albany Police Department, stated at a press conference that they now have a person of interest and are working to find and apprehend them.
According to him, some 150 people were evacuated to a nearby building because the massive warehouse had a sizable overnight crew. Many of them were unaware of what had transpired. According to Jones, they were unaware of it until they were evacuated.
Jones stated that although the police were aware of the suspect’s whereabouts, they were still working to capture him.
Jones stated that the incident seemed to be targeted, but he would not say if the suspect was a current or past worker at the establishment.
Jones did not disclose the conditions of the five injured individuals, who were transported to a nearby hospital. According to him, police were still getting in touch with the relatives of the deceased and injured.
We hope that this will never occur in our town, but we are ready for it, and here we are at this point,” he stated. This is a terrible scenario that is still evolving, and the investigation has only just started.
According to the New Albany Chamber of Commerce, the building where the incident occurred produces cosmetics for LBrand stores, according to Columbus’ NBC station WCMH.
