The incident appears to be a “targeted type of attack,” New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones said in an update just before 2 a.m. Wednesday. A motive for the shooting has not been released and no altercation happened before the shooting, Jones said.
Jones added that a firearm was recovered at the scene; he did not say what type of firearm it was.
One suspect has been identified and is alive, but officials did not release that person’s name. A spokesperson at the scene said officers do not believe the suspect is still at the New Albany facility. Jones said this person is likely the only suspect.

At least 20 people were escorted from one building at the scene to another at one point. Jones said those people — he estimated 150 people in the building at the time of the shooting — are safe and able to contact their friends and family.
Due to the size of the facility, Jones said many of the people inside the building did not know the shooting was happening.
Law enforcement officers with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, New Albany and Columbus police as well as the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation responded to the scene.
