Ohio warehouse shooting suspect in custody after 1 killed, 5 injured: police
A suspect in a New Albany, Ohio workplace shooting that left one person dead and five others wounded is in custody, police said Wednesday.
Bruce Reginald Foster III was apprehended after police executed a search warrant at an apartment in Columbus, Ohio, police said. A suspect opened fire at a cosmetic manufacturing plant in New Albany, Ohio around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, police say.
Foster has been charged with aggravated murder, according to Licking County court records.
“He had been at work for some time when this occurred. We don’t have any reports that there was any issue – that he was in an area that he wasn’t supposed to be, or he was in trouble in any way or there was any conflict,” New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones said. “It is not to say there wasn’t something, but after interviewing everybody we have — and the supervisor of the company – we don’t have any reports of anything like that.”
Jones earlier described the incident as a “targeted attack.”

“This is tragedy that – to be honest with you – I never thought we would see in our community,” he also said Wednesday morning.
Foster is described by the New Albany Police Department as being “6-feet tall, weighing 175 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.”
“We may never know the reason that drove this individual to undertake these horrible acts, but regrettably, this pattern is too common in our country and we must do better, we must do more to support each other, to lend a hand to a friend or colleague or a coworker who is clearly in need,” New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding said.
“Our community is heartbroken and our hearts go out to everyone that has been impacted,” he added. “We want to reassure our residents that we have multiple agencies working right now to apprehend the suspect. The safety and wellbeing of our community is our top priority and we will continue to work closely with all agencies involved to ensure this situation is resolved as safely and quickly as possible.”

Where to watch SDSU at South Dakota men’s basketball today, time, TV
Watch the SDSU men’s basketball team at a postgame press conference
South Dakota State head coach Bryan Peterson and guard Joe Sayler talk about the Jackrabbits’ loss to South Dakota on Feb. 7, 2026.
The South Dakota State men’s basketball team has a chance to get some payback against South Dakota today in both teams’ final game before the Summit League Tournament begins.
The Jackrabbits (14-16, 7-8 Summit League) have won three of four and just beat Kansas City 73-59 on Thursday, Feb. 26. The Coyotes (15-15, 7-8) are headed in the opposite direction, having stopped a three-game skid with an 89-72 win over Omaha on Wednesday, Feb. 25.
Here’s how to watch the two rivals battle again.

South Dakota State at South Dakota prediction
Paul Cifonelli, Argus Leader: Like the first time these two teams met, this is a matchup between two squads headed in different directions. Somehow, they’ve managed to flip roles in just three weeks.
South Dakota looks like it is running out of steam quickly after impressing and threatening the third spot in the Summit League in early February. South Dakota State has rebounded from losing five of six nicely, giving themselves a chance at hitting .500 on the season.
I expect the Jackrabbits to continue playing inspired and hard, and for them to overwhelm a Coyote side that has shown more fight than anyone could’ve imagined.

Wisconsin lawmakers react to US and Israel attack on Iran
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) -Wisconsin’s congressional delegation is responding to the United States and Israel’s attack on Iran, with members divided sharply along party lines.
Republicans back military action
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI), a member of the House Armed Services Committee and a retired U.S. Navy SEAL with multiple combat deployments across the Middle East, released a statement supporting the action.
The current Iranian regime has been sowing the seeds of terror around the world for decades.
They are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and it is time they are held accountable.
May God bless our Troops and give them: Strength, Wisdom, and Courage. pic.twitter.com/j1f05DF4Wk
— Derrick Van Orden (@derrickvanorden) February 28, 2026
“For decades, the Iranian regime has fueled terror and violence across the world. This regime has operated with impunity for far too long, spreading chaos while threatening the security of the United States and our partners. Their hands are stained with the blood of thousands of Americans,” Van Orden said.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) also posted support for the military operation on social media, writing: “May God bless and protect our troops as they attempt to liberate the long suffering people of Iran.”
Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) also expressed support for the military operation.
“My thoughts are with the brave U.S. forces carrying out these precision strikes and with the safety of American personnel in the region,” Tiffany said.

Democrats condemn strikes as unconstitutional
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) criticized the military action on social media, suggesting the strikes were intended to distract from domestic issues.
“Eliminating a nuclear program (that Trump already said was eliminated) & Regime Change. Don’t look at your wallets & what you are paying more for due to Trump’s tariffs OR care about the Epstein files. Trump wants to divert your attention & is willing to kill people to do it,” Pocan said.
Last night, Donald Trump put American troops in harms way without Congressional authority. He is liable for every drop of blood spilled. Congress must immediately vote on a War Powers Resolution to end this illegal war before Trump destabilizes the entire region.
— Rep. Mark Pocan (@RepMarkPocan) February 28, 2026
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) called the strikes illegal and demanded the Senate return to vote on the matter.
“President Trump illegally bombed Iran, totally disregarding the Constitution, putting American troops in harm’s way, and starting another war in the Middle East with no end in sight,” Baldwin said. “The Constitution is clear: if the President wants to start a war, Congress – elected by the people – needs to sign off on it.”
Baldwin also drew comparisons to previous military engagements.
“Have we learned nothing from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Doubling down with another open-ended war without realistic goals or a strategy to win is not only foolish, but also recklessly puts Wisconsin’s sons and daughters at risk,” she said.
Baldwin noted that Trump had pledged to avoid foreign wars. “President Trump pledged to the American people that he would not get involved in another foreign war, and this is yet another broken promise from this President,” she said.

‘Family Mob’ gang members, associates charged in major Minneapolis fentanyl trafficking case: DOJ
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Five alleged members and associates of the “Family Mob” street gang have been charged in a major fentanyl trafficking case in Minneapolis, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Three indictments and two criminal complaints were unsealed in the District of Minnesota accusing the defendants of distributing fentanyl, crack cocaine and other controlled substances in south Minneapolis.
Authorities allege the group collectively possessed with intent to distribute more than seven kilograms of fentanyl since July 2025 and operated a de facto open-air drug market near Lake Street and Park Avenue, using force to push out other dealers.
Those charged include Silk Lamond Davis, 48, of Minneapolis; Alexisus Jarmon Mosby, 44, of Bloomington; Kiron Jamoll Williams, 43, of Minneapolis; Rashshon Jamahl Taggett, 44, of Minneapolis; and Lakendrick Darnell Gilliam, 38, of St. Paul.

The charges range from possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine to distribution of fentanyl and conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.
Law enforcement agencies executed multiple arrest and search warrants Wednesday morning targeting the gang and its members, officials said.
If convicted, the defendants face penalties of up to life in prison on the most serious drug trafficking charges.

“Our investigation shows that combined, those charged were responsible for the distribution of enough fentanyl for more than 3.5 million lethal doses in the last seven months,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen at a press briefing.
He told reporters that seven others were also taken into custody on related state charges, bringing the total number arrested to 12.
Rick Evanchec, interim special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis field office, said the coordinated operation to dismantle the “Family Mob” gang involved a sweeping, multi-agency effort across the metropolitan area.
Before dawn, eight SWAT teams and law enforcement personnel from the FBI, Minneapolis Police Department, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) executed 14 search warrants targeting narcotics, firearms and other evidence tied to the alleged criminal enterprise.

Evanchec said the gang has operated since the 1990s, distributing narcotics and using violence to control territory in Minneapolis neighborhoods.
“The Family Mob Gang ruled by intimidation and violence, and wrongly assumed they could operate with impunity,” DEA Omaha Field Division Special Agent in Charge Dustin Gillespie said in a statement. “Today, the combined efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement imparted a significant blow to the drug trafficking efforts of a gang that has spread poison through a beloved Minneapolis community.”
