3 children, 3 adults shot inside Nebraska home: Police
Six people were injured, including three children, during a shooting inside a home in Crete, Nebraska, on Friday afternoon.

The shooting occurred at approximately 4:30 pm inside a home on Crestline Drive in Crete, according to Nebraska State Patrol Captain Sean Caradori.

“It appears that all the victims of the shooting will survive,” Caradori said during a news conference Friday.
The victims suffered from “apparent gunshot wounds” and were transported to the Crete Area Medical Center. Some victims were later transferred to other medical centers for further care.
A friend of one of the victims spoke to ABC affiliate KETV and claimed the shooter had previously made incendiary remarks before he “shot the house up.” He said that the shooter shot his friend, as well as his friend’s mom four times in her back.
According to Caradori, officers heard “at least one additional gunshot” in a home across the street from where the victims were found. They later located a handgun and discovered a “male deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound” who is believed to be the suspect.
Investigators do not believe there are any additional suspects involved. Investigators said they are still trying to determine a motive and the probe is ongoing.
Crete Police officers, Saline County deputies, Nebraska State Troopers and Nebraska Game and Parks officers had responded to the scene, in addition to fire departments of neighboring towns.
The Nebraska State Police SWAT Team responded with multiple armored vehicles, and they “breached the door of the home where the gunshots came from” at approximately 6:40 pm.

“I want all of Crete to know that this situation has been resolved and there’s no threat to the public,” Caradori said.
Nebraska Game and Parks is offering residents a chance to win prizes simply for getting outside and moving, as part of a challenge honoring America’s 250th birthday.
The Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge invites participants to log miles through activities like walking, running, kayaking, horseback riding and more using any fitness app. The goal is to reach 250 miles before the end of the year. Once completed, participants fill out a form on the Nebraska Game and Parks website to become eligible for prizes.
Mike Selman, a regular walker at Zorinsky Lake, said the challenge caught his attention.
“I think it’s great, as long as you put in the time and effort,” Selman said.
Selman said getting outdoors is already a big part of his routine.
“I absolutely love it, I love being outdoors, just the beauty, the nature, the trees, the water,” Selman said.
He said one of his favorite aspects of the challenge is the opportunity to explore Nebraska’s many outdoor spaces.
“Especially here, around Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Flanagan, you got great opportunities and great places to go,” Selman said.
When asked if he planned to submit his miles, Selman did not hesitate.
“I’ll definitely think about it, most definitely,” Selman said.
Between Memorial Day and the end of the year, logging just over 1 mile a day would be enough to reach the 250-mile goal and qualify for prizes.

We’ll have to wait a bit longer to get into the Cowgirls’ Super Regional.
A rainy night in Lincoln meant the teams only managed to get four outs into the Super between Oklahoma State and Nebraska. The game is tied at 0. The weather delay lasted about two hours before they called it.
The game will resume at 4 p.m. Friday and be televised on ESPN2. They will not play another game Friday, as Game 2 will now take place at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Nebraska football team added its third 2027 offensive line commitment and addition from the state of Georgia on Wednesday.
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive lineman KD Jones officially announced his commitment to NU this week.

The Huskers first offered Jones in April, after offensive line coach Geep Wade had previously been recruiting him at Georgia Tech.
“Coach Wade called me and offered me today,” Jones told HuskerOnline on Apr. 25. “He has been on me for a long time, ever since he was at Tech. So his interest wasn’t anything new to me. He came to watch me train at school and was amazed. He offered the next day.”
Jones joins safety Corey Hadley from the state of Georgia in NU’s 2027 recruiting class.
“I knew nothing about Nebraska before the offer,” Jones said in April. But now that Coach Wade and Coach (Lonnie) Teasley are there, I know I can trust them.”
Jones had planned to take official visits to all the schools recruiting him, but his early commitment to NU appears to have shut down those visits.
He jones Omaha (Neb.) Millard North’s Matt Erickson and fellow Grayson product Jordan Agbanoma are the other offensive linemen in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. He’s now the 10th commitment in Nebraska’s class of 2027.
