Original report: About 150 people were in the building at the time of the shooting, which occurred at 10:20 p.m. Tuesday, WBNS reported.

The alleged shooter was identified as Bruce Reginald Foster III. He was in police custody by late Wednesday morning after a search warrant was executed on a home in Columbus, Fox News reported.

Police did not have a motive and there were no reports of an argument that would have led to the shooting. Chief Greg Jones said that Foster had been at work “for some time” before shots rang out, CBS News reported.

“We don’t have any reports that there was an issue, that he was in an area that he wasn’t supposed to be, that he was in trouble in any way, that there was any conflict,” Jones said, according to WBNS. The chief also said there doesn’t appear to be an accomplice.

All of those shot were employees. One was pronounced dead at the scene while five others were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Their conditions were not released, The Associated Press reported.
