LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- The most seriously wounded victim of the North Valley Jewish Community Center shooting -- 5-year-old Benjamin Kadish -- remains in serious but stable condition at Childrens Hospital.

Kadish was shot in the abdomen and left thigh and will remain in "intensive care for several days," hospital spokesman Steve Rutledge said.

Joshua Stepakoff, 6, who suffered a bullet wound to his buttock area, was released from the hospital Friday.

James Zidell, 6, who suffered a bullet wound to his left heel, was released Thursday from Granada Hills Community Hospital.

Mindy Finkelstein, 16, a counselor at the center who was shot in the right thigh and shin, was released from Kaiser Permamente Hospital in Woodland Hills Thursday evening.

Her father issued a statement on behalf of the family, expressing his thanks to hospital staff and to the "outpouring of love and support ... from around the world."

"We are thrilled that Mindy's recovery is going well and that we can now go home as a family. Our prayers and thoughts are with the other victims and their families," the statement said.

Isabelle Shalometh, 68, a receptionist at the center, was released Tuesday, hours after the shooting, after suffering grazing wounds to the arm and breast.

Buford Furrow, a self-described white separatist who once feared he "could just lose it and kill people," has been charged with murder and five counts of attempted murder -- all alleged hate crimes.

The charges, filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office, follow Tuesday's attack on the Los Angeles area Jewish community center and the killing of Philippines-born postal worker Joseph Santos Ileto, 39, about an hour later.
