He said there was no known motive but no reason to think there was an ongoing threat to anyone in the vicinity.The wounded were taken to hospitals but there was no word on their conditions, Jones said.A firearm was found in the warehouse, he pointed out.
The city said police responded at about 10:30 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.”This has been a very tragic situation. Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families and everybody that works at this facility” Jones said. “This is something that we hoped would never happen in our community, but we prepare for it, and this is where we are now.”
New Albany is 15 miles northeast of Columbus.
