LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Authorities said Tuesday that all victims of the Crete mass shooting have been released from the hospital.

Crete police said there was a history between Booth and the victims. He had complained about the way they drove and parked in the neighborhood, police said.

Booth had also previously told the victims – who are Hispanic – to “speak English” and “go back where you came from,” police said.

The patrol said it was investigating to determine if the shooting was a hate crime.
