New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones described the shooting just before 11pm (4am on Wednesday GMT) as a “targeted type of attack” and said officials do not believe the suspect poses a general threat to the public.

“We have a person of interest and we’re looking to locate them and bring them into custody,” he said during a press conference.

A firearm was found at the scene.

The shooting happened at the warehouse for a company that makes products including cosmetics and toiletries.

Police did not immediately provide a motive for the shooting or the conditions of those wounded.

About 150 people were evacuated to a neighbouring building, according to Jones.
