OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska judge has ruled that a man committed to a state psychiatric hospital after a shooting spree at an Omaha club in 1977 must remain there for at least another year.
It was determined Monday that 70-year-old Ulysses Cribbs continues to be a danger to himself and others and therefore must stay at the Lincoln Regional Center. Another review has been scheduled for next year.
In 1977, Cribbs fired six shots at Omaha's Club 89, killing a Douglas County sheriff's captain and injuring 25 people. A judge found him not guilty by reason of insanity, and he was ordered to the regional center.
Cribbs' attorney says it's believed that his client's instability likely stems from Agent Orange exposure during his service in Vietnam.
