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.”

The facility where the shooting happened produces “value-added solutions to many of the world’s leading brands in the beauty, personal care, and home care categories,” according to the plant’s website.

One person was found deceased inside the building while five others were transported to local hospitals, Jones said. As of Wednesday morning, their conditions are unknown.

Jones also said a handgun was recovered from the scene.

An update posted to the city website at around 2:30 a.m. said officers were finishing evacuating employees from the building. Jones said approximately 150 people were evacuated to a neighboring building.

The investigation remains in its beginning stages, and authorities ask for anyone with information on the suspect or the incident to call them at 614-855-1234.
