It's a beautiful fall day in 1991 in the town of Killeen, Texas. In its lunch hour that afternoon, over 150 hungry patrons made their way over to the popular restaurant chain called Luby's. Known for their cafeteria-style comfort food, Luby's was a town favorite in Killeen. And on this day, everyone grabbed their food trays and made their way down the line, filling their plates.
For some people, the most trivial things on their minds were questions like, should I get mashed potatoes or mac and cheese? Do I want chicken or fish? Of course, none of that would matter in just a few minutes. But after getting their meals, people took their seats around the restaurant enjoying their food while spending quality time around the table with their loved ones.
For many, it would be their very last meal. because at 1239 p.m., everyone's lunch was interrupted by the sound of a loud crash. At first, most people believed that the noise had been caused by dinner plates crashing to the floor. But when they looked up from their tables, they saw that a truck had crashed right through the building and was now sitting about 20 feet into the dining area.
There were tables flipped over, debris covering the ground, and about a dozen glass ketchup bottles had catapulted onto the hood of the truck. In the seconds after the crash, everyone stood up in confusion. Surely this was just a horrible accident. Maybe someone had a medical emergency while driving in the parking lot. But soon enough, everyone would realize that this was no accident at all.
Because when the dust cleared, a man emerged from the truck holding two semi-automatic pistols. And over the next few minutes, he would walk through the restaurant killing as many people as he possibly could. What had started as a normal, peaceful day at Luby's quickly ended in chaos and tragedy.
Around the restaurant floor, amongst the overturned tables and plates of food, were the bodies of 23 people, making it one of the deadliest mass shootings in our country's history. So this is the story of the 1991 Luby's Massacre. I'm Courtney Browen. And I'm Colin Browen.
And you're listening to Murder in America. Before 1991, many people in the United States had never heard of Killeen, Texas. But today, some people claim that the city is cursed. Located about an hour north of Austin, the state's capital, Killeen is a town known for its military base, Fort Hood.
