“Targeted” shooting in Ohio warehouse leaves 1 dead, 5 wounded, authorities say


One person was dead and five others wounded in a “targeted” shooting in a warehouse in a Columbus, Ohio suburb late Tuesday night, authorities said.

New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones told reporters early Wednesday that a person of interest had been identified but wasn’t in custody yet, adding that it wasn’t clear whether the person was an employee. He said there was no ongoing threat to anyone in the vicinity.

Jones said the wounded were taken to a hospital but there was no word on their conditions.

He said a firearm was found in the warehouse.

The city said police responded a little before 11 p.m. to the active shooter situation at KDC/One, which is a cosmetics and toiletries company.

Jones said some people were “self evacuating” when officers arrived and the rest in the “large building” were evacuated to another building nearby, roughly 150 in all. He told CBS News earlier that a drone was used to help clear them out.

Jones noted that some were being interviewed and there was a language barrier with several. Many didn’t know what had happened until they were evacuated, Jones said.

He called the shooting “quite a tragedy.”

New Albany is 15 miles northeast of Columbus.
