NEW ALBANY – Authorities were investigating a shooting at a home in southern Indiana on Wednesday morning when the gunman crashed a vehicle through a Pillsbury plant’s security gate nearby and then fatally shot a man, officials said.
“When he went through the gate, that’s where the incident occurred,” New Albany Police Capt. Keith Whitlow said.
No other people were injured in the shooting at the plant or at the home less than a mile away.
Several Pillsbury workers saw the fatal shooting, which was reported at about 7 a.m., because it unfolded during a shift change and the parking lot was filled with people, Whitlow said.
“There were all kinds of people coming and going, night shift to day shift making that transition, and there was also a lot of deliveries being made, truck drivers in the area,” he said.
Authorities declined to release the identities of the dead man or the gunman.
