A few months back, we told you the story of the 1991 Luby's mass shooting, which took the lives of 23 people. It was one of the worst mass shootings in American history, and it all took place in Killeen, Texas. But before the massacre that tragically marked the town, Not many people had even heard of Killeen. Back then, it was simply known as a quiet military town outside of Austin, Texas.

But in 1991, there was a national spotlight on Killeen as the world learned that a gunman opened fire on innocent people eating lunch. It took years for the people of Killeen to heal from this tragedy. Years of looking over their shoulder when they walk into a room. Years of getting anxious when a loved one doesn't answer the phone.

The Luby's massacre left a deep emotional wound in nearly everyone who lived in the town. But 18 years later, just as the people of Killeen were finally healing, another tragedy would strike. This time, a gunman would walk into the town's military base. Fort Hood, and in just a few short minutes, he would take the lives of as many people as he possibly could.

However, unlike the 1991 Luby's Massacre, this gunman was not some random man having a mental break. In fact, United States Army Major Nadal Hassan was a psychiatrist on the base, a man specifically hired to help soldiers with their mental health. Following this tragedy, many people started to wonder if the town of Killeen is cursed. First a mass shooting in 1991, then another in 2009.

But as we dug deeper into this town, we discovered so much more about the Killeen curse. And a lot of it seems to center around the Fort Hood military base. So for the next few weeks, we are going to do a series about all of the tragedies that have occurred here, starting with the Fort Hood Massacre. I'm Courtney Brown.
