A second person has died following a shooting Tuesday night at a warehouse in Ohio, police said.
The victim had been taken to the hospital but “succumbed to their injuries,” the New Albany Police Department said in an early Thursday morning.
Four people remain hospitalized, and one person was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting.
The suspect, Bruce Reginald Foster III, was arrested at a home in Columbus on Wednesday after a brief manhunt. He faces a charge of aggravated murder.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at KDC/ONE. New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones said that overnight staff members were at the warehouse and that around 150 people had to be evacuated to a neighboring building.
The shooting “appeared to be a targeted type of attack,” said Jones said, who would not reveal whether the suspect was a current or former employee at the facility.
Jones said officers were still contacting the families of those killed or injured.
“This is a heartbreaking and tragic situation. Our officers, alongside multiple agencies, responded swiftly to protect lives and secure the scene. We train for situations like this, and while it is something no community ever wants to face, we were prepared to act quickly and effectively. We will continue working to bring this situation to a full resolution,” Jones said in a statement.
NBC affiliate WCMH of Columbus reported that the building where the shooting took place makes cosmetics for LBrand stores, citing the New Albany Chamber of Commerce.
