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

The unidentified suspect was later found dead inside the house from what authorities said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

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.

Caradori confirmed that no law enforcement officials fired weapons.

“I want all of Crete to know that this situation has been resolved and there’s no threat to the public,” Caradori said.

Former USC cornerback Ceyair Wright has signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s a Big Ten college football transfer, something we wouldn’t have been able to say at this time one year ago.

Wright, who entered the transfer portal on April 25 after three seasons at USC, announced his commitment to Nebraska on Friday afternoon following an official visit to Lincoln earlier in the week. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

In 2021, Wright was rated as the No. 78 overall prospect in the country and No. 7 corner, from 247 Sports. Nebraska was among his finalists at the time, though he committed to USC before visiting Lincoln.

The 6-foot, 180-pound Wright played in 23 career games during his time with the Trojans. The 2022 season was his most productive, as he played in all 14 games with 11 starts. He recorded 28 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups that season.

The former top-100 prospect and four-star recruit in the 2021 class has previously been an actor, appearing in several movies, TV shows and commercials. He played a fictional son of LeBron James in “Space Jam 2”in 2021. He also appeared on the ABC comedy “Grown-ish.”

During his senior year at Loyola High School, he was the focus of a “Dual Threat” documentary produced by Overtime.
