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.”

New Prime Video doc: Kyle Larson’s maniacal mission to race Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600 in same day
Kyle Larson focused on Indy 500
Arrow McLaren’s Kyle Larson discusses focusing on the Indianapolis 500.
INDIANAPOLIS — Despite knowing the odds were against him, that it would take perfect weather, impeccable timing, the travel gods aligning and everything he had within his soul, Kyle Larson went for “The Double” twice, a feat in racing only four other drivers have attempted.
“The Double” is a maniacal mission to complete 1,100 miles in one day at two of the most iconic races in cities more than 400 miles apart — the Indianapolis 500 first, then NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 in Concord, N.C.
Larson’s two-time attempt at “The Double” in 2024 and 2025 is the subject of a new Prime Video documentary, “Kyle Larson vs The Double,” which premieres May 21.
The film delves into the incredible challenges Larson faces, on and off the track, as he goes for one of the most elusive triumphs in racing — from 500 miles in an Indy car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to jumping on a plane to North Carolina to compete for 600 miles in a stock car at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“The logistical challenge of ‘The Double’ is staggering,” Prime Video says in the film’s press release, “managing the extreme physical toll of heat, dehydration, G-forces and mental exhaustion.”
Before Larson, four other drivers took on “The Double” — John Andretti in 1994; Robby Gordon in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004; Tony Stewart in 1999 and 2001; and Kurt Busch in 2014.
Stewart is the only driver to complete all 1,100 miles, finishing sixth in the Indy 500 and third in the Coca-Cola 600.
In Larson’s 2024 run at “The Double,” rain delayed the Indy 500, causing him to miss the start of the Coca-Cola 600. He finished 18th in Indy and was replaced by Justin Allgaier at Charlotte. Larson competed in both races in 2025, but crashes dashed his hopes of finishing 1,100 miles in one day.
The film goes beyond Larson’s mission on the track, taking a personal look at his life and career, his mindset, his sacrifices and the people around him who cheered him on.
“Sometimes, the most compelling stories in sports aren’t about crossing the finish line,” Prime Video says, “they’re about the sheer will and determination it takes to compete at the highest level.”
