Several bodycam videos show officers arriving on scene and talking to people to figure out what’s going on.

Other clips show police inside the facility, checking each room for the shooter or any victims.

WBNS-10 reports that one video shows an officer holding the alleged weapon.

“All I know is this suspect’s gun got wrestled away from him. Then two victims got shot while wrestling it away from him,” the officer said in the video.

Another officer’s body camera video captures her helping two victims who were sitting outside the warehouse.

One of the victims appeared to have gunshot wounds to the neck and arm, and the other appeared to have a gunshot wound on their ankle, according to WBNS-10.

Incident reports from officers on the scene indicate that witnesses said Foster was the shooter.

WBNS-10 reports that one employee told police that they thought Foster was intoxicated and smelled like marijuana.

Another employee told officers they saw Foster leave the facility and enter a gray SUV.

As previously reported by News Center 7, police learned Foster used a rideshare service to leave the warehouse. They do not believe the driver had any role in the shooting.

Additional bodycam video shows officers searching a vacant hotel that’s near the warehouse after they noticed an open door. Officers checked each room but eventually left as nothing was found.

Authorities arrested Foster around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at a house near the Short North Arts District in Columbus.

Foster was given a $20 million bond after appearing in court on Feb. 6.
