Authorities are not ruling out racist motives as they investigate why a white Nebraska man shot and wounded seven neighbors who were Guatemalan immigrants. Officials say about 15 people were mostly in the yard at the victims’ home when 74-year-old Billy Booth opened fire from his house Friday in the community of Crete.
Alberto Bautista stands in the front yard where he and several other people were shot the day before in Crete, Neb. on Saturday, June 29, 2024. Damage to a vehicle window is seen on Saturday, June 29, 2024, after a Friday shooting in Crete, Neb., which sent several people to the hospital. Boards are seen on the front door of the home of Bill Booth in Crete, Neb., on Saturday, June 29, 2024, the day after he was suspected of shooting several people.
About 15 people were at the victims’ home, mostly in the yard, when Billy Booth, 74, opened fire from his house in Crete with a shotgun around 4:30 p.m. Friday, officials said. Booth killed himself after the shootings. The victims, who are related and include four children ages 3 to 10, are expected to survive.
The shootings shook Crete, a diverse community of about 7,000 residents about 70 miles southwest of Omaha. The population is about 50% Hispanic and almost 25% foreign-born. Booth largely kept to himself but had a history of conflict with his neighbors when he did interact with them,Police previously received a complaint from the family that Booth had made an obscene gesture and told them to go back to where they came from and “speak English,” Crete Police Chief Gary Young said Saturday. The family did not press charges, he said.
