According to the Nebraska State Patrol, Max Hosksinson, 61, whose job had been terminated earlier in the day, returned to the Agrex facility about 2 p.m. with a handgun and opened fire, striking three individuals.
An employee then retrieved a shotgun from an office and returned fire, striking Hoskinson.
Two of the victims died, authorities said, including one who was flown to a Lincoln hospital with life-threatening injuries and died later Thursday. Hoskinson died at a local hospital, police said.
Superior is a community of 1,750 in south-central Nebraska, located just a few miles from the Kansas border.
