Six people were found shot.

The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Bruce Reginald Foster III, was arrested sometime after 10 a.m. on Wednesday at a home near the Short North Arts District in Columbus, our news partners at WBNS reported.

Foster was charged with aggravated murder, according to a warrant filed in common pleas court. No other charges have been filed yet, our news partner WBNS reported.

He was given a $20 million bond.

Police confirmed all the victims, as well as Foster, were employees of the company.

New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones told WBNS that the shooting appeared to have been a targeted arrack. Employees interviewed by police said there was no apparent conflict and said Foster did not appear to be in any trouble at work.

Police are still working to learn what the motive was.

“This has been a very tragic situation. Our thoughts go out to the victims, their families and everybody that works at this facility. This is something that we hoped would never happen in our community, but we prepare for it, and this is where we are now,” Jones said.

The conditions of the four remaining hospitalized are currently unknown.

Foster is due next in court on Feb. 13.

We will update this story.
