Authorities have worked out the timeline of events for a fatal shooting at Agrex grain elevator in Superior, Neb., reports 1011 Now.

They’ve determined the shooting lasted about 20 seconds.

On October 21, 61-year-old Max Hoskinson shot three people, fatally injuring two of them before he was shot by a grain elevator employee.

The investigation revealed Hoskinson, who had been fired that day, had left the grain elevator but returned 15 minutes later.

Other employees — unaware that he had been fired — didn’t think it significant or problematic that he was at the workplace until he walked up to Sandra Nelson’s office and shot her dead.

Some then barricaded themselves in a room as two other people were shot; Darin Koepke was life-flighted to Lincoln and later died.

Another employee heard the gunfire and grabbed a gun kept on the premises for pest control and shot the gunman in the chest; Hoskinson later died.
