Lubys Massacre
On October 16, 1991, George Pierre Hennard drove his 1987 Ford Ranger pickup through the front window of a Luby’s restaurant in Killeen, Texas. Emerging from his truck, the 35 year old Hennard, an unemployed seaman from nearby Belton, Texas, began to open fire on the restaurant’s patrons and staff. Over the course of about fifteen minutes, Hennard shot over 40 individuals, killing 23 and wounding another 20. Shortly after police arrived and exchanged fire with the gunman, Hennard committed suicide, ending what remains to this day the deadliest non-school shooting rampage in American history.
