The victims have been transported to hospitals and the suspect is no longer believed to be at the building, said Josh Poland, a spokesperson for the city of New Albany.
New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones described the shooting just before 11 p.m. as a ''targeted type of attack'' and said officials don't 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 neighboring building, according to Jones.
