One person is dead and five others are injured after a shooting unfolded inside a warehouse in Ohio, police said on Feb. 5.

The shooting took place on Tuesday night inside a cosmetics warehouse.

“This has been a very tragic situation,” New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones told reporters early on Wednesday. “Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families and everybody who works at this facility. This is something that we'd hoped that would never happen in our community.”

The suspect has been identified as Bruce Reginald Foster III, authorities said. He is described as a 6-foot-tall black male, weighing 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Police are working to locate and apprehend the suspect.

Jones said the current information on the suspect does not indicate that he is a threat to society.

“It appears at this point to be a targeted type of attack,” Jones said.

Officers recovered a gun on the scene. Officials declined to say what type of gun it is.

The identity of the person who was killed, and the five others who were left wounded, have also not yet been released.

All five wounded individuals were taken to nearby hospitals. Police did not describe their conditions.

“It’s really a fluid situation and investigations have really just begun,” Jones said.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
