A male, later identified as Derek D. Tussing (DOB 3-10-1991) of Delphos, had tried to pull a female out of her car. When he was not successful at that, he got into a nearby vehicle with the keys in the ignition. Then, at a high rate of speed, Mr. Tussing drove the vehicle directly into the grain elevator entrance, striking grain elevator employee Richard Stemen. Mr. Stemen was life flighted to a Columbus hospital for life-threatening injuries.
During the initial investigation occupants inside the residence explained that there had been a party and that some individuals had been asked to leave due to their problematic behavior. After leaving, those still inside the residence received text messages warning that something bad might happen.
