Judge officially orders New Albany mass shooter to mental hospital

A judge has formally ordered the man behind a fatal mass shooting at a New Albany warehouse to spend time at a psychiatric facility as a mentally ill person under Ohio law, records show. Licking County Common Pleas Court Judge David Branstool committed Bruce Foster III, 30, to a unit at the Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare facility, 2200 W. Broad St. in Columbus, according to court records. Psychiatrists at the facility evaluated him in recent weeks to provide a report so Branstool could determine if Foster would be held there. In September, Branstool found Foster not guilty of aggravated murder due to his mental state after he fatally shot two coworkers and injured four others on Feb. 4, 2025, inside the KDC/One warehouse in the Licking County portion of New Albany.
